Cub Scout Pack 4245 is part of the oldest charter in the town of Peculiar and has been serving Scouts in grades in grades K-5 in Peculiar, MO. We are part of the Spirit Trail District in the Heart of America Council and are sponsored by Peculiar United Methodist Church (PUMC).
Cub Scout Den Meetings are held on Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM CST at the Peculiar United Methodist Church, which is located at 20521 S. School Road, Peculiar, MO 64078. This facility also serves as the primary meeting location for Troops 1245 and 7771 and additional meeting space for many ministries of the church.
Our goal is to foster the BSA vision of building our youth into conscientious, responsible, and productive boys and girls by instilling in them lifetime values and developing ethical character traits as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law. We want to create an environment that fosters a sense of community while keeping the fun in scouting. As Baden Powell once said, we are building “Happy, Healthy, and Helpful Citizens.”
We are required to ensure that all our leaders are properly trained, so our scouts can be mentored in a safe environment provided by our sponsor organization. In addition, we encourage our leaders to attend regular Scout training events, committee meetings, and monthly round tables. We are proud to have past and present leaders who are Eagle Scouts, Baloo (DOE), and Wood Badge trained.
Many of our Scouts go on to join Boy Scout Troop 1245 and Scouts USA 7771 (our girls' troop), also sponsored by PUMC.
It is our sincerest hope that if you or if someone you know is considering becoming involved in Scouting, you will contact one of our leaders or join us for one of our weekly meetings, we'd love for you to come out and see us!
