Pack 168 - Edina Normandale Pack 168 is comprised of first- through fifth-grade boys at Normandale Elementary School in Edina, Minnesota. Our sponsoring organization is Good Samaritan United Methodist Church, 5730 Grove Street, Edina, MN 55436. Within the Scouting family, we are a member of the Viking Council and of the Mustang District. We are a strong, vibrant and very active pack; at present, we have 6 dens of Cub Scouts at all levels - Tiger Cubs, Wolf, Bear, Webelos I and Webelos II Scouts. Our mission is simple - to pursue the goals and ideals of Scouting. We strive to serve as a positive character influence for Scouts and their families through emphasizing such values as community service, teamwork, respect for others, integrity, and last but certainly not least, fun! Here's a partial list of some of the things we do as individual Dens or as a Pack during the course of a year: Monthly Pack meetings, where we sing songs, perform skits, play games, report on our Den activities, and acknowledge and celebrate individual Scouts' achievements and accomplishments as they rise through the ranks; Frequent Den meetings, where Scouts work on their achievements and have a lot of fun along the way; Pinewood Derby - how fast can you make a block of wood go? Blue and Gold Dinner - centerpieces, entertainment, and celebration of Scouting; And much, much more. Like all Cub Scout packs, Pack 168, is run by committed adult volunteers - the Cubmaster, the Pack Chairperson(s), other Pack officers, individual event coordinators, and most important of all, our Den leaders. The quality of each boy's Scouting experience is directly proportional to the quality of adult leadership provided within the Pack; absent dedicated, enthusiastic parent support, there can be no Pack 168. Adult volunteers at all levels are the lifeblood of the pack. Even if you don't have any Scouting experience, you probably have much to offer as an adult volunteer. I urge you to take the opportunity to get involved as an adult leader within Pack 168 - not only will the boys benefit, but you'll pick up many personal rewards and much satisfaction along the way. I know I have. That's a brief overview of what Pack 168 is all about. If you're new to Scouting in general or to Pack 168 in particular, please check us out.
