Lake Highlands United Methodist Church has hosted Scouting America units for over 65 years and Pack 890 since 1979. Since February 2019, Scouting America programs have been available for all youth, boys and girls, of all ages. Cub Scout Pack 890 serves children in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Pack 890 lives and breathes the saying that “the sport in Scouting is to find the good in every child and develop it.” We serve the Scouting community in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas. Our boys and girls come primarily from schools in the neighborhood including Lake Highlands Elementary, Northlake Elementary, Wallace Elementary, and White Rock Elementary, as well as Merriman Park Elementary, Moss Haven Elementary, Scofield Christian School, White Rock North School, and Zion Lutheran School.
Kindergartners are eligible to join the pack as Lions in August of the new school year and to participate in our annual Cub Scout Roundup that month. Once our Cubs reach 4th and 5th grades, they can attend overnight Resident Camp in June, and then in February of their 5th grade year; they earn their Arrow of Light badge and “crossover” into a local Scout Troop.
Dens
In Cub Scouts, each pack is divided into several school-year based dens:
- Lions (Kindergarten)
- Tigers (1st)
- Wolves (2nd)
- Bears (3rd)
- Webelos (4th)
- Arrow of Light (5th)
Meetings
Pack Meetings – Generally occur on the last Monday of the month. They are typically held at Lake Highlands United Methodist Church. All dens come to the Pack meeting.
Den Meetings – Occur on Sundays once a month. They are typically held Walne Park, on the Fieldcrest Dr. side. Each den meets individually.
