Who We Are
Cub Scout Pack 7 of New Canaan, Connecticut is an active group of more than 30 boys who camp, hike, and take part in adventures together.
Our chartering organization is the United Methodist Church of New Canaan. We are in the Powahay District of the Boy Scouts of America’s Connecticut Yankee Council.
The spirit of Scouting centers around both family and community. Parents are an active part of the Scouting program, and work alongside their children to help guide them as they grow.
On behalf of Pack 7, I encourage you to reach out and find out more about Scouting.

What is a Scout?
Cub Scouts is a program within the Boy Scouts of America that serves youth from from 5 to 11 years old. The Cub Scouts program aims to prepare youth to grow into self-reliant and dependable adults.
Cub Scouts achieve this with a lineup of hands-on activities and adventures focused on:
Character Development
Spiritual Growth
Good Citizenship
Sportsmanship and Fitness
Family Understanding
Respectful Relationships
Personal Achievement
Friendly Service
Fun and Adventure
Preparation for Boy Scouts
What are Packs and Dens?
Cub Scouts are part of dens. These are small groups of Scouts who are in the same grade or are the same age. This is the group Cub Scouts meet most frequently.
There are several dens in a “pack.” As packs meet, kids of a wider range of ages showcase what they’re learning in their dens. That means outdoor fun, skits, games, songs, and award ceremonies happen with a wide variety of Cub Scouts and their families.
Cub Scouts have a lot of fun together and work alongside one another, their leaders, and their families to grow into well-rounded young men. As they work toward the culmination of the Cub Scout program, they are prepared to become Boy Scouts and face even more exciting challenges and adventures.
