About Our Pack

 
Pack 577 Pinewood Derby

Our Story

Pack 577 started in 1961 and has a rich history of teaching youth from the kindergarten to fifth grade. We are part of the Hightower Trail District of the Atlanta Area Council, Scouts BSA. Our Pack is sponsored by the Oak Grove United Methodist Men’s Fellowship of Oak Grove United Methodist Church.

Our pack is historically one of the largest in Atlanta. Our main goal is to ensure that our Cub Scouts have fun, while learning valuable skills that will serve them throughout their lives! We do this by teaching our Scouts outdoor skills, sportsmanship, how to work with others, citizenship and more.

Good to Know

We hold our monthly pack meetings usually on the 3rd Thursday of each month on the Oak Grove United Methodist Church campus. Our dens meet at different times of the month based on the schedule set with each den leader and the den families. In addition to monthly den and pack meetings, Scouts have the opportunity to participate in “go-see-it” activities, service projects, two family campouts (fall/spring), summertime Pack activities, and an annual “Big Trip.”

Each year, our pack raises funds to support our program by selling popcorn. This income supplements annual dues that goes towards programming and activities for each Scout.
