Pack 916 (Boys)
Shakopee Cub Scout Pack 916 is chartered by the Shakopee Lions Club & serves boys from Kindergarten – 5th grade. We have two den meetings and one pack meeting per month and are active year round. Scouts and their families have fun participating in adventures that build confidence, teach important life skills, build character, instill values and build lifelong friendships. Our pack is an active family-oriented pack and parental participation in all Scouting activities is highly encouraged and promoted.
Registration is open all year. Feel free to attend a meeting or one of our events to see what we are all about. It’s a great way to meet our families and get any questions answered in person before joining. Adventure awaits… come join the fun!
Youth cross over from Cub Scouts in February-March of 5th grade, from that point until they turn 18 they can be in Scouts BSA.

We have monthly outings that include camping trips, biking trips, hiking trips and district camporees. We currently have over 30 active boys in multiple Patrols. We camp using the Patrol Method and our own Troop patrol boxes and equipment. Our Troop Committee consists of dedicated parent volunteers who believe strongly in the aims of Boy Scouting.
