Your Adventure
Starts Here!

Pack 970 is a family-focused Cub Scout pack in McKinney where kids build confidence, make friends, explore the outdoors, and have a whole lot of fun along the way.

Our scouts camp, race Pinewood Derby cars, hike trails, launch rockets, build projects, fish, learn leadership skills, and create memories that last for years.

Cub Scouts is designed for boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade and combines fun, adventure, character, and hands-on learning in a way kids genuinely love.

Parents love Pack 970 because it gives their kids something that’s getting harder to find today, real experiences, real friendships, and real confidence. Our pack really feels like a family. We support each other, grow together and have fun together. We have a very organized and friendly group!

Our scouts are outside exploring, building things, learning skills, solving problems, and making memories instead of sitting behind screens.

Families also love that Cub Scouts is something they can do together. Parents are part of the experience, whether that’s helping build a Pinewood Derby car, camping under the stars, cheering at a race, or laughing around a campfire.

Pack 970 creates:

• Strong friendships for kids and parents

• Positive male and female role models

• Safe, structured activities

• Opportunities for leadership and growth

• Family traditions kids remember for years

Many parents tell us Cub Scouts helped their child:

• Come out of their shell

• Build confidence

• Make friends faster

• Learn responsibility

• Become more independent

• Discover a love for the outdoors

And maybe most importantly, it’s fun!

At Pack 970, our year is packed with activities like:

• Pinewood Derby

• Raingutter Regatta

• Family campouts

• Fishing and hiking

• STEM activities

• BB guns and archery at approved events

• Service projects

• Campfires and outdoor cooking

• Holiday parties and pack games

• Summer activities and district events

Our 2025–2026 program includes events like Cub Fun Day, Wisdom Winterfest, Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold, campouts, service projects, and themed pack meetings throughout the year.

One of the best parts of Cub Scouts is that families participate together.

Parents camp with their scouts, help build derby cars, cheer at races, volunteer at events, and become part of a strong community.

You do not need camping experience or outdoor skills to join. Most families start brand new, and we learn together.

Cub Scouts helps kids develop:

• Confidence

• Leadership

• Responsibility

• Teamwork

• Communication skills

• Independence

• Outdoor skills

• Character and citizenship

The Cub Scout program is built around character, leadership, citizenship, personal fitness, outdoor experiences, and family involvement.

Safety is a major priority in Scouting. All leaders complete Youth Protection Training and follow Scouting America safety policies and age-appropriate activity guidelines.

The best way to experience Pack 970 is to visit a meeting or event. Come meet our families, see the scouts in action, and find out why kids love Cub Scouts. Come check out a meeting before making any commitment. We’re happy to answer questions, introduce you to other families, and help you see if Pack 970 is the right fit for your child. 

From campfires and Pinewood Derby races to friendships and leadership skills, Cub Scouts gives kids experiences they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. No experience needed. Just bring your family and come have fun with us.

We’d love to meet your family.
