Cub Scout Pack 97 was originally founded in 2002 by families from Holy Family Catholic School. Since then, we have graduated hundreds of Cub Scouts to the next-level Scouts BSA program. In 2024 our charter organization changed to the Capitol Area Council. Since our re-charter, we still meet at Holy Family, and we still have a strong Catholic identity. We welcome any interested scout – regardless of school or faith – boys or girls – to join the program to be Prepared for Life!
Mission Statement
Pack 97 delivers all aspects of the Cub Scout program to K-5 youth. We engage scouts in monthly Pack and Den meeting, 2 campouts per year, an overnight adventure, and a Pinewood Derby race to offer scouts experience with outdoor skills, STEM, leadership, fitness, reverence, citizenship, crafting, and competing all while learning using the EDGE (Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Experience) method in a safe environment. Scouts are inspired to “Do Your Best” (the Cub Scout Motto!) while building lifelong friendships and having fun along the way.
