You're registered — congratulations! Here's everything you need to get started: your first steps, uniform guide, first badge, and who to call if you have questions.
Here's a simple checklist to get your family oriented and ready for your first meeting.
Once your membership is confirmed and fees are paid, here's exactly what to expect:
The Pack 62 Cubmaster will send you a welcome email connecting you with your den leader. Your den leader will provide the specific meeting schedule, location, and add you to den communications (email list, group chat, etc.).
If you haven't heard within a week of registering, reach out directly at recruiter@eriepack62.org.
We'll email you a quick-read welcome guide covering Cub Scouting basics — the Scout Oath and Law, how advancement works, what to bring to meetings, and Pack 62-specific guidelines.
Explore Cub Scouts at scouting.org →We'll ask each family to complete a short survey about your professional skills, hobbies, and interests. This helps us match families with volunteer opportunities that fit them — whether that's leading a cooking adventure, helping at a campout, or organizing supplies.
All Pack 62 events are on a shared Google Calendar. Your den leader will also maintain a separate den-level calendar for your specific group. Add both to your phone so you never miss an adventure.
View the Pack 62 Calendar →Uniforms are an important part of scouting — they build pride and belonging. Here's what Pack 62 provides versus what your family is responsible for purchasing.
Lion Scout T-shirt or Blue button-down scout shirt
Blue button-down scout shirt
Khaki button-down shirt with blue shoulder loops
Every new Cub Scout — no matter what grade they enter — starts here.
Keep track of every achievement, hike, campout, and service hour with these official Scouting America tools — both are free.
Download the free Scoutbook app on iPhone or Android to log achievements, view upcoming events, and see your scout's full advancement record. Your den leader uses this to record awards, so keeping it up to date ensures nothing gets missed.
Download Scoutbook →The full web-based advancement tracker at advancements.scouting.org allows detailed tracking of hiking miles, camping nights, service hours, and all adventure completions. A great companion to the Scoutbook app.
Open Tracker →Pack 62 asks each family to register at least one adult member. Here's what it means — and what it doesn't.
Scouting America requires two registered adult leaders at every scouting event. Adult membership registration (~$100/yr) is what makes you an official registered leader and fulfills this protection requirement.
Registering as an adult member doesn't automatically assign you a job or require you to wear a uniform — though both are encouraged. You're simply making the pack safer and more legally compliant by being official.
Once registered, you can take on optional roles: assistant den leader, event coordinator, treasurer, or one of many other positions listed on our Pack 62 Jobs Roster. New families often start with assistant roles.
Have a question? Here's who to reach out to depending on what you need.
