Welcome!

Welcome to the official site of Cub Scout Pack 8. We are based in Southington, CT and are chartered by the PTO of Derynoski Elementary School.

Is your son or daughter entering Kindergarten–5th Grade? He or she can join cub scouts NOW!  Cub Scouts is now Family Scouting and open to boys and girls!   

If you are interested in Pack 8, please contact the Membership Chair.

For an overview of Scouting, watch this video.

Our official scouting year runs all year round with organized meetings from September through May, but we conduct a wide variety of fun and exciting activities for scouts and their families throughout the year. These activities include hikes, camping, picnics, the Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold Banquet, and other fun and community service projects.

Scouting can provide your child with a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, enjoy new experiences and adventures, and learn about sportsmanship, honesty, fair play and respect. Most importantly, your child will learn to do their best and have fun!

We really have a great time, and hope that you will think about joining us.

Parent's Night Out 02-14-2025

Posted on Nov 9 2024 - 4:22pm

We have scheduled a Parents Night Out event through Leadership Martial Art in Plantsville for February 14th 2025. This event is optional but the kids have a great time and come home exercised and tired. About 50% of what the night costs comes back to the pack and we will use these funds to offset future events. Normally children under 5 are not allowed but they have made an exception for us, the only requirement is that a child must be able to use the restroom on their own or with the help of an older sibling, Leadership staff will not assist
