Welcome!

Welcome to the official site of Cub Scout Pack 8. We are based in Southington, CT and are chartered by the PTO of Derynoski Elementary School.

Is your son or daughter entering Kindergarten–5th Grade? He or she can join cub scouts NOW!  Cub Scouts is now Family Scouting and open to boys and girls!   

If you are interested in Pack 8, please contact the Membership Chair.

For an overview of Scouting, watch this video.

Our official scouting year runs all year round with organized meetings from September through May, but we conduct a wide variety of fun and exciting activities for scouts and their families throughout the year. These activities include hikes, camping, picnics, the Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold Banquet, and other fun and community service projects.

Scouting can provide your child with a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, enjoy new experiences and adventures, and learn about sportsmanship, honesty, fair play and respect. Most importantly, your child will learn to do their best and have fun!

We really have a great time, and hope that you will think about joining us.

PACK 8 Can and Bottle Drive

Posted on May 31 2025 - 12:53pm
This Saturday, June 7th from 9am-11am we will have our first can and bottle drop off and sorting at Saint Paul's Church in the back lot. It will be helpful to have cans and plastic separated ahead of time as we have to bag them according to the redemption centers rules. Ask grandparents, aunts and uncles and even your neighbors to donate empty water bottles, soda cans & adult beverage cans. All funds raised from our can & bottle drives will go to offset pack dues for the upcoming year, the more we earn the lower everyone's dues will be. We will have a few leaders present to help process the returns with you. Below is a breakdown of how we need to bag up the returns.
