For 75 years, Cub Scout Pack 80 has brought outdoor adventure, fun, and character development to Magnolia boys from kindergarten through 5th grades. This month, Pack 80 leadership has announced that their ranks will be open for girl registrations.
For achievement activities, Pack 80 groups scouts into ‘dens’ based on age. The group plans to add girl specific dens, but open its camping and adventure activities to all scouts. Pack 80’s move to include girls follows recent Boy Scouts of America policy changes on inclusion.
“The vast majority of scouting programs around the world are mixed gender.” states Pack 80 Cubmaster and Eagle Scout, Jeremiah Mushen. “We’ve had girl siblings unofficially participating in Pack 80 activities for years, so this seems like a natural transition for our group. I’m proud that Pack 80 is finally open to all kids and families!”
