About us
Who is Pack 79?
We're a Cub Scout pack serving elementary-age kids in Charlotte, North Carolina — building character, confidence, and friendships through hands-on adventure.
Dens organized by grade
Cub Scouts are grouped into dens — small groups of kids in the same grade. Your child adventures alongside friends their own age, with each den's program tailored to where they are developmentally.

More independence — hiking, whittling, and leadership.
5th Grade
Arrow of Light Den
Preparing for the next step into Scouts BSA.
