Everything you ever wanted to know about our pack.

Cub Scout Pack 81 was chartered by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in 1953.  Our chartering organization is Hillsdale United Methodist Church.  The purpose of a chartering organization is to provide over-sight and leadership to the pack.  Additionally, the chartering organization provides the pack with a place to meet.

In 2003, Pack 81 reached a major milestone.  Fifty years of continuous scouting in Hillsdale!  And still going strong!!

BSA is organized at the national level, with tiers of support at the regional, council and district levels.  Pack 81 was originally in the Bergen Council.  Several councils were consolidated into the Northern New Jersey Council, which is where we are today.

The pack is organized top down, as follows:

Scouting, at all levels, relies heavily on volunteer efforts by scout families.  Nobody within the pack is paid for their efforts.  The jobs are much easier when lots of hands help out.  Please help your son's pack in any way you can.
