Joining Pack 1020


Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 1020! We are chartered by Pilgrim Lutheran Ministries and a part of the Sam Houston Area Council.

A Cub Scout Pack is divided into dens of 4-12 boys. These dens are grouped by age/grade:

  • Tiger (1st grade or age 7)
  • Wolf (2nd grade or age 8)
  • Bear (3rd grade or age 9)
  • Webelo (4th/5th grades or age 10)

How to Join

Contact the Cubmaster or a Den Leader for an application form. Complete it and return it with a check for the appropriate amount payable to Pack 1020.

  • Annual membership with Boy's Life Magazine: $45.00

When and Where do we meet?

The dens meet weekly to work on activities and projects. They meet in one of the classrooms at Pilgrim Lutheran Church/School, 8601 Chimney Rock (at the corner of Chimney Rock and Beechnut).

Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cubmaster. This meeting is held at Parish Hall of Pilgrim Lutheran Church on the last Friday of every month at 7:00 pm.

What we Wear

Pack 1020 expects the Scouts to wear a scout shirt and dark pants to Pack and Den meetings. Pack 1020 T-shirts are appropriate for many scout outings.

Parent Involvement

Cub Scouting is an Adult/Child program. It is not a baby sitting service. An adult partner is expected at every meeting that the child attends. As a result of this program and with additional help at home, the Scouts can earn advancements and recognition. The success of the program greatly depends on the involvement and enthusiasm of the adult partner.

Cub Scout Advancement Plan

Many of the Pack's activities are driven by the Cub Scout Advancement Plan. The Advancement Plan Recognition gives the boys a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges. The Adult partner works with the boys on their advancement projects.

  • The Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub Scouting.

  • The Tiger Cub program is for boys who are age 7 or in 1st grade. There are five Tiger Cub achievement areas. To earn the Tiger Cub Badge, the Tiger Cub completes 15 requirements within these areas. These requirements involve indoor and outdoor activities.

  • The Wolf program is for boys who are age 8 or in 2nd grade. To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must complete twelve achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.

  • The Bear rank is for boys who are age 9 or in 3rd grade. There are 24 Bear achievements divided into four categories. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are more challenging than those for the Wolf rank.

  • The Webelos program is for boys who are age 10 or in 4th or 5th grade. This program prepares the boy for the transition from Webelos to Boy Scout. As he completes the Webelos requirements, he will become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements, which lead to the Arrow of Light Award.
