Why Scouting?
The Mission of Scouting America is 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. How do we do that? By having fun, of course! Scouting is a game with a purpose, and in scouts, your child or children will have lots of fun, make memories as a family that will last a lifetime, and build confidence and character amongst their peers under the supervision of trained adult leadership! Scouting is the largest worldwide youth movement in history, and there’s good reason it’s such a global phenomenon: it works! Former scouts make up a notable percentage of executive leadership roles, inventors, artists, and community leaders.
Scouting is for everyone, and every kid deserves scouting!
Why join Pack 3322?
With more than 40 active Scouts, we are a highly active and engaging Pack for both Scouts and their families. We schedule at least 6 campouts or major events per year – locally at Camp Butler and Camp Manatoc and across the State and region. We camp on restored battleships, on air force bases, at State parks, on the ballfield of the Akron Rubber Ducks, at our local NE Ohio zoos, and wherever adventure leads us!
We invite families and siblings to participate in ALL of our activities.
We do everything you would expect in Scouting and more – hiking, canoeing, pinewood derby, craftwork, museum tours, raingutter regatta model boat races, philanthropy, community service, and charity events…and so much more!
Families involved with Pack 3322 consistently share their praise for the wholesome, outdoor, family-focused activities that we schedule each year.
We believe that Scouting is for everyone, and every kid deserves Scouting! Our fundraising efforts are unparalleled, and we are happy to discuss helping with the costs of joining if your family needs assistance. Please reach out to us at pack.3322@gtcscouting.org

All About Cub Scouts:
Sponsor (Chartering Organization)
Pack 3322 is chartered by Christ Church Episcopal in downtown Hudson. Membership in the church is not required for membership in the Pack; Pack 3322 welcomes members of all faiths and our leaders come from a diverse background of beliefs. Christ Church Episcopal is a Parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio and, as part of the Episcopal Church, is open and affirming.
Pack Meetings
The “Pack” consists of all of the Scouts and their families who have joined Pack 3322 (grades K-5). We usually meet one Friday a month at Hudson City Hall at 7 PM.
Den Meeting
The Den is all of the Scouts in the Pack who are the same gender and in the same grade. Kindergartners are either in the Boy Lion Den or the Girl Lion Den; First Graders are in either of the Tiger Dens; Second Graders are in the Wolf Dens; Third Graders are in the Bear Dens; Fourth Graders are in the Webelos Dens, and Fifth Graders are in the Arrow of Light Dens. In addition to the monthly Pack meetings, each den usually meets once or twice per month. Each den may establish its own meeting schedule, but unless a special guest or a tour or other event is planned, most dens meet one Wednesday a month at Christ Church Episcopal
Cubmaster
The Cubmaster is the overall leader or CEO of the Pack. Nick Kwolek is our Cubmaster. Nick is an Eagle Scout who is excited to share Scouting experiences with a new generation. He can be reached at pack.3322@gtcscouting.org.
Family Participation
Cub Scouting with Pack 3322 is for the whole family. Our events are family friendly and are usually designed for the entire family’s participation. Campouts, for example, can include two parents, Scout, and sibling(s); mom and Scout; dad and Scout; or either parent with Scout and sibling(s). Unless we specify otherwise, please feel free to bring other siblings to take part in the activities. For the Pinewood Derby, we even have a separate category in which siblings and parents may enter a car.
Pack 3322 is FUN for the entire family.
Dues
The fees to be a member of Pack 3322 are very modest. Most of our Scouts sell enough in our annual popcorn fundraiser to completely cover their Pack, Council, and National dues for the year. For each scout, National Dues are $85, the Great Trail Council assesses an $85 adventure fee which pays for numerous programs and events, plus a free t-shirt and discounted camping for the Pack at our local Scout Reservation, Camp Manatoc. In addition Pack 3322 requires an annual fee of $100, which covers rentals, reservations, and program materials such as awards, insignia, patches, and supplies. In total, for the whole year, Scouting registration costs under $300 per scout! That’s less than a single week of most summer day camps!
Scouting is for everyone, so if your family will need assistance with making Scouting affordable, reach out to us at pack.3322@gtcscouting.com and we will come up with a plan to accommodate you!
