Pack 420
Scouting in Irondequoit since 1963
Scouting That Fits Your Family
We know today’s families are balancing busy schedules with school, sports, and other extra curricular activities. Pack 420 is designed to complement your family life, not add stress.
Family-First
Bring the whole family! Siblings are always welcome at our events, and parents are part of the fun every step of the way.
Flexible Participation
We welcome scouts whenever they can make it. Missing a meeting for a soccer game or family event won't hold your scout back.
Keeping It Simple
To keep costs low and meetings comfortable, our everyday uniform is simple: just the official Scout (Class A) shirt with comfortable pants or shorts.
Pack 420 is more than just a Cub Scout Pack, it's a community where young individuals are nurtured, encouraged, and challenged to grow into the leaders of tomorrow. We believe in building strong character, promoting good citizenship, and celebrating family. Whether it's through outdoor adventures or team-building games, our scouts gain important life skills while having fun and creating lifelong friendships.
New & Unconventional Experiences
We go beyond the standard routine. From behind-the-scenes tours of emergency services to specialized hands-on skills workshops, we consistently introduce unique opportunities designed to spark curiosity and build real capability.
Outdoor Adventures & Learning
Nature is our best classroom. Our program includes overnight camping, hiking, land navigation, and campfire cooking, emphasizing outdoor ethics, safety, and self-reliance.
Service & Volunteerism
Leadership begins with helping others. Our Scouts participate in local conservation efforts, food drives, and neighborhood improvement projects, learning firsthand the impact of direct community support.
Friendship & Fun
Above all, Scouting is about building lasting friendships. Whether designing and racing cars in the Pinewood Derby, tackling team challenge courses, or sharing stories around a campfire, our primary goal is making sure every Scout enjoys the journey.
Throughout the year, our pack participates in a variety of exciting events and activities designed to foster personal growth, leadership, and a love for adventure:
Camping & Outdoor Adventures
Scouts enjoy regular camping trips, including our Spring Campout at Webster Park and Fall Campout at Camp Cutler, where they hike, fish, and participate in team-building activities. Our Cub Scout Adventure Camp also offers themed cabins, rowing lessons, and even a mud run!
Skill-Building
From archery and slingshot practice to woodworking and knot tying, Pack 420 helps scouts develop new skills through hands-on experiences. Older scouts even get to try their hand at pellet guns, learning safe handling and marksmanship.
The Pinewood Derby
One of our most beloved events, the Pinewood Derby brings scouts and families together for an exciting race day where creativity, craftsmanship, and friendly competition shine. Our Family Race allows siblings to join in on the fun and create their own cars!
Community Engagement
Scouts are encouraged to give back to the community through service projects and friendly events, building a sense of responsibility and good citizenship. We also host special family-friendly activities, ensuring that everyone, from scouts to siblings, can participate in the fun.
Cub Scouting is more than just activities; it’s about developing character, fostering family bonds, and building respect for others. Through outdoor adventures, community service, skill-building, and teamwork, we help scouts grow into confident individuals ready for the challenges of tomorrow. Whether it’s camping under the stars, racing in the Pinewood Derby, or exploring new hobbies, Pack 420 ensures that every scout has a chance to learn, grow, and have fun along the way.
If you’re looking for an exciting and rewarding experience for your child, Pack 420 is the place to be. Whether you're new to Scouting or looking to get involved in a new community, we welcome families of all backgrounds to join us on this incredible journey.
