Building character, citizenship, and confidence through outdoor adventure, service, and fun. Pack 96 brings St. Michael families together for Cub Scout experiences children will remember for years.
Cub Scout Pack 96 at St. Michael School in Sharonville helps young people build confidence, serve others, explore the outdoors, and have fun with friends and family.
Pack 96 is a family-centered Cub Scout pack chartered by St. Michael School in Sharonville and part of the Dan Beard Council of Scouting America. We welcome all children in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Through den meetings, pack events, service projects, campouts, and long-standing traditions like the Pinewood Derby and the Blue & Gold Banquet, Scouts grow in character, citizenship, and confidence while making lasting memories.
Cub Scouting is the Scouting America program for youth in kindergarten through 5th grade. The program develops:
Pack 96 serves children from kindergarten through fifth grade, organized into grade-based dens where they meet with other Scouts their age to work on adventures, build friendships, and learn new skills. Den meetings may include games, crafts, outdoor activities, service, science projects, citizenship lessons, and advancement work.
The Pack (all grades) meets roughly once a month throughout the school year, usually on the third Friday. Each den (one grade level) meets one to three times per month depending on the level. Parents attend den meetings with their Scout in kindergarten through 2nd grade.
Pack dues cover national registration, the council fee, the pack T-shirt, a Pinewood Derby kit, badges, campout facilities, and event supplies. Fundraisers through the year, like the Krispy Kreme doughnut sale and dine-and-donate nights, help keep dues down. Financial assistance is available: no Scout is ever turned away.

The exact dates live on the pack calendar for members. This is the shape of the year.
Cub Scouts grow through grade-based adventures that build confidence, character, citizenship, safety awareness, outdoor skills, and family involvement. Each rank includes required and elective Adventures that help Scouts learn by doing. Den leaders share exact meeting schedules and activity details as the year progresses.
Lion Scouts begin their Cub Scout journey in kindergarten with fun, hands-on activities designed for young children and their families. At this level, the focus is on participation, trying new things, learning simple safety habits, building confidence, and becoming part of the den and pack.
How advancement works: Lion Scouts earn their rank by completing six required Adventures plus at least two elective Adventures during the year.
Tiger Scouts continue building confidence through active, family-supported adventures that focus on teamwork, safety, citizenship, the outdoors, and trying new skills. Tigers learn best through participation, movement, and shared experiences with their families and den.
How advancement works: Tiger Scouts earn their rank by completing six required Adventures plus at least two elective Adventures during the year.
Wolf Scouts grow in independence as they take on adventures that build practical skills, citizenship, outdoor awareness, and problem-solving. At this stage, Scouts begin to do more together as a den while still having strong family support.
How advancement works: Wolf Scouts earn their rank by completing six required Adventures plus at least two elective Adventures during the year.
Bear Scouts take on more challenge through service, science, outdoor activities, practical life skills, and hands-on adventures. At this level, Scouts build more independence while continuing to learn through fun, active experiences with their den and pack.
How advancement works: Bear Scouts earn their rank by completing six required Adventures plus at least two elective Adventures during the year.
At Pack 96, our older Cub Scouts continue together in a two-year Webelos experience focused on growing independence, leadership, outdoor skills, service, and preparation for the next stage of Scouting. Scouting America officially separates Webelos and Arrow of Light for advancement, but Pack 96 keeps older Cub Scouts together in a shared local experience. Webelos bridge into Troop 803 at St. Michael.
How advancement works: Older Scouts continue working on age-appropriate Adventures and build toward the skills, confidence, and readiness needed for the transition into Scouts BSA.
Scouts advance by grade level through Adventures completed over the course of the year. Some are worked on during den meetings; others during pack events, service projects, family activities, hikes, or campouts. Our goal is to make advancement meaningful, active, and fun.
Pack 96 is run entirely by parent volunteers.
