Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 2

July 4th paradeWe are Cub Scout Pack 2, chartered by Scouts BSA to Northwest Hills United Methodist Church, serving families in Austin's Northwest Hills neighborhood and Doss Elementary.

Does your child like to camp? Have they ever slept on an aircraft carrier? How about swim in the Frio River? Or maybe cook s’mores over a camp fire while telling jokes and performing skits?

Cub Scouting exposes elementary age kids to these outdoor activities and more, while simultaneously teaching lessons about leadership, self-sufficiency, and healthy habits.

Cub Scout Pack 2 is a very active group of about 60 1st - 5th graders. Most attend Doss Elementary or live in the Northwest Hills neighborhood of Austin, TX - but all are welcome!

We're based out of Northwest Hills United Methodist Church (all faiths welcome at our charter organization) in Austin, TX. We belong to the Armadillo District of the Capital Area Council within the Boy Scouts of America organization.

It's always a great time to join Cub Scouts.  Check out this website or contact our Cubmaster to learn more about Cub Scouts.

Pinewood Derby Car Building Workshops

Posted on Oct 30 2022 - 5:34pm

Nov. 13th, 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM & Nov. 20th, 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Pack 2 -- I'll have my garage open for two pinewood derby car building workshops. Have your Scout select a pinewood car design from the Pack 2 site or find one online, and bring the design and your Scout's pinewood car kit (or pick one up at my house when you arrive if you haven't done so already). I'll have a saw so you can cut the major cuts in your pinewood block. It really speeds up the process. I'll also have a Dremel and sandpaper if you want to do some of that work with your Scout. You can get my address on the event page or in the Pack 2 roster.
