Welcome to Cub Scouts and Pack 254!

I consider it an honor having your son and family join Pack 254 in Mays Landing. It is a growing pack with a solid scouting based program. It is the desire of all the Pack leadership to provide the highest quality scouting experience for your son and a solid family oriented program your whole family can enjoy. The Cub Scouts are part of the Boy Scouts of America, and have a long tradition of providing lots of fun experiences for young boys.  In Pack 254, we believe Cub Scouting is fun, but fun with a purpose.

Residents were treated to some Christmas songs by 20 of our Scouts. Songs such as Jingle Bells, 12 Days of Christmas and even God Bless America were sung for the residents who made it downstairs to the lobby. For those who couldn't make it were treated by the scouts walking the hallway. All Scouts from Pack 254 made gifts baskets to hand out to each resident. This event was organized by Caryn from the Webelos I den and when we left the residents were so greatful for the event that they would love for us to return next year.
