New Scout Quick Start Guide

Cub Scout Pack 728 is open to all boys and girls, kindergarten through fifth grade — typically between the ages of 5 and 10. Whether your child is brand new to Scouting or joining with previous experience, everyone is welcome to be part of the adventure at any time of year!

The Pack meets every Wednesday evening from 6:30–7:30 pm at the Scout House (Wells Branch MUD Annex Building), 14611 Wells Port Dr, Austin.

Our Cubmaster will contact you as soon as you have completed your registration and join the Pack.

Every scout should purchase the following items for their Class A uniform (please note, we also have a uniform bank with items we share in a uniform exchange):

• Class A for Lions, Tigers, Wolves or Bears 

  • • Navy Shirt (recommend Youth Medium for all Scouts)

    • Navy Belt (to display achievements, which come as belt loops) 

    • Pack numbers (red numerals 7, 2 and 8)

    • Den number (as assigned in Scout Book or ask your Den Leader)

    • Council patch

    • World Crest patch (World Crest ring patch optional)

    • Optional: rank cap, uniform pants, shorts, skirt, red vest, etc.

• Class A for Webelos and Arrow of Light scouts

  • • Tan Shirt (size based on fit and cost varies by material style) 

      • • Webelos - if navy shirt still fits, then that is an acceptable Class A uniform shirt

    • Pack number (red numerals 7, 2 and 8)

    • Den number (as assigned in Scoutbook or ask your Den Leader)

    • Council patch

    • World Crest patch (World Crest ring patch optional)

Uniforms and other scout supplies can be purchased online here or at the local Steve Matthews Scout Shop.

Our Pack has a lending uniform closet available to scouts in need; limited to available sizes (please see Cubmaster for more information).

All members of Pack 728 are expected to follow the Cub Scout Oath and Law, showing respect, responsibility, and kindness in all activities. While participation in events is always up to each family, we recommend attending at least 85% of meetings and outings to get the most out of the Cub Scout experience—especially for advancement and building friendships. We understand families have busy schedules, so if you have a conflict, please let your den leader know. We do our best to be flexible and supportive. Additionally, all families are asked to support the pack’s fundraising efforts, which help make our program possible. To reinforce the value of giving back, we also recommend that each Scout participate in at least two community service activities per semester.

At Pack 728, we encourage all parents and guardians to be open to volunteering in some capacity during their child's time in Cub Scouts. The level of involvement can vary based on your interests and availability — every bit helps, and it’s all appreciated. A successful pack depends on engaged adult leadership to keep things running smoothly. If you plan to attend campouts or take on any leadership role, you’ll need to complete Safeguarding Youth Training, which helps us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all.
