Cub Scout Pack 4 and Boy Scout Troop 4 have been helping Pasadena and Altadena kids develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership, and citizenship skills for over 100 years!
Scouting is fun and provides youth with activities that allow them to:
- Try new things.
- Provide service to others.
- Build self-confidence.
- Reinforce ethical standards.
Scouting teaches skills and teamwork, and encourages youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for service to others in their community. It also allows the children time to be creative and silly and play.
Scouting provides kids with a sense that they are important as individuals. It is communicated to them that those in the Scouting family care about what happens to them, regardless of whether a game is won or lost.
Finally, Scouting promotes activities and skill-learning that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem.
How does it work?
Kids are divided into Dens by Grade level, Kinder through 5th grade. The Dens meet once a month, where they work on specific projects together as laid out in the Scouting guide. With each achievement they earn a badge. The Dens are led by a parent Den leader.
Together, the Dens are a Pack. The Pack meets once a month at our Scout House. A parent Cubmaster leads the ceremonies and meetings. The Dens have various roles at the Pack meetings, with opportunities to do skits or lead aspects of the meeting.
Each year there is a graduation ceremony where the children earn their advancement to the next level. After 5th grade the kids graduate from Cub Scout Pack 4 to the Boy Scout Troop 4.
There are other optional meetups and adventure opportunities throughout the year, such as Surf Camp, meeting up at the Scouting shooting range, camping at Catalina, Rocket Academy, and Things that Fly. And of course, the famous Pinewood Derby!

Will this fit into my schedule?
Scouting helps kids think creatively and stay grounded in this 21st Century world. We are busy parents and guardians who value our kids slowing down and spending time in nature away from screens, the diversity of the Altadena/Pasadena area, and the values and skills that Scouting brings. Most of the kids participate in sports and other activities, too. We make it happen. There's no other place that offers the scouting experience.
Visit Pack 4's "Scout House" and check out historical items dating back 100 years to the start of our Troop!
If you are new to scouting, we have various pre-worn uniform items in good condition for new members, so let us know!
Reach out with any questions to 626-794-2470. We look forward to meeting you!
