Pack 710 draws most of it's membership from Sherwood Oregon. We meet at Archer Glen Elementary, but have scouts from most of the elementary schools in town. We have about 65 boys (grades 1-5) divided into 10 dens. Our pack generally meets on the last Tuesday of the month and we also have one Pack activity a month. This website is meant to give parents information about the activities of your pack including pack outings, service projects, and contact information. We are also working on adding information and links to help with your son's advancement. |
