A family Cub Scout pack serving
the Tuckahoe Elementary School District in
the East Falls Church neighborhood of Arlington, VA
BSA mission: "to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law."
We build character while acquiring life skills through physical activity, service, comradery, and parental involvement.
The aims of Scouting include: Character Development, Citizenship Training, Personal Fitness, and Leadership Development
Inclusivity: Pack 637 is a Family pack, meaning we welcome all boys and girls in grades K-5
Meetings: We meet by age level on a bi-weekly basis, as well as one meeting per month for all ages combined.
The Scouting year coincides with the school year, from Sept-June.
Some of our Dens meet indoors at Tuckahoe School, or outdoors at various parks or facilities in the community.
Activities: We do a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, always prizing participation, caring and learning throuhg experience
Dens usually hike at least once per year, and visit local services, like the Fire Station or Animal Hospital
The Pack usually camps outdoors twice per year, with trained staff and maximum parental participation, and sponsors trademark activities like the Pinewood Derby and Rocket Day
Scouts throughout the National Capital Area usually meet once per year at Camp Snyder to experience outdoor activites like archery and rock climbing, as well as STEM activities like robotics.
