Pack 166 is a member of the Black River District of the Patriots' Path Council.
We are one of four active Cub Scout Packs in Randolph, New Jersey.
Pack 166 is sponsored by the Millbrook United Methodist Church, and meets in the cafeteria at Center Grove Elementary School.
The cafeteria is also reserved for Den meetings and Pack Meetings on Tuesday nights throughout the school year.
Generally Meetings are held as follows:
2nd Tuesday of Month is Den Meetings
3rd Tuesday is Committee Meetings
4th Tuesday is Pack Meetings
Additional trips or changes to this general schedule can be found on the Calendar as well as all activities planned for the 2009-2010 School Year. See Events for more details about our upcoming activities.

Parent Volunteers Always Welcome
Parents, we can always use extra help to run the pack more smoothly. Perhaps you can donate your time and/or talents to make this program even more enjoyable for our boys!
Please remember it is the parents' responsibility to discipline their children and make sure that their behavior is appropriate. We should show the Center Grove School or wherever our meeting is the same respect and behavior that we would during school hours.

Uniforms
New scouts receive a 'welcome to the Pack' neckerchief at the time of registration or at their first pack meeting containing their den # patch, Patriots Path Council patch, and 166 patch. More information on uniforms. Uniforms should be worn at Den Meetings, Pack Meetings and official pack events. Pack t-shirts can be worn for less formal or more messy events.
Belt Loops and Pins
The Academic and Sports Program is an optional program for all Cub Scouts. It is not part of the normal requirements towards ranks, except where used in obtaining various Webelos activity badges and Wolf Elective 20 (Sports). Its purpose is to assist the Scouts in learning a new skill, or improving one they already possess. A variety of recognition items are available for the boys (Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, or Webelos Scouts) who participate in the program. (Adults are NOT awarded with belt loops or pins.). Trish Zelley is the Cub Scout advancement coordinator. Please contact her with advancement information or questions.
