Pack Meetings
The Pack Meetings for Cub Scout Pack 223 are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month during the school year. Time will be 7 to 8:30PM. The location is Hagan Elementary School in Poughkeepsie, NY. There will be NO pack meeting on days where the school is closed for holidays, school closings for weather, or early dismissal for any reason. We may also get bumped for any school programs going on.
Active Parent Meetings
Active Parent Planning Meetings are normally held one Monday evening per month (see Calendar) at 7:00pm at St. John's Church on Wilbur Blvd., Poughkeepsie. ALL PARENTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND. This way, you can have a voice in your child's scouting experience! These meetings are for both leaders and parents to plan upcoming pack events.
ONE LEADER FROM EACH DEN IS REQUIRED TO BE PRESENT.
Pack 223 SWAP BOX: We will have a box for "swapping" Cub Scout uniforms: hats, shirts, scarves, etc. This box will be at all of the Pack meetings. Please donate your unwanted items, another scout can use them!
