Handbooks are also available as free downloads online, but the kids get more from them when they have printed copies.

Fundraising is a GREAT way to easily cover the costs of Scouting! 

We never want family finances to stand in the way of your child becoming a Scout. Financial assistance is also available. If costs (fees, uniforms, activities) are a concern, contact the Treasurer or Committee Chair. No Scout should be excluded due to financial limitations.

Cub Scouts is a family program, and parent involvement is essential.

• At least one adult per family must participate (parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc.)

• No drop-offs — parents are expected to attend all den and pack meetings

• Parents are expected to:

  • Attend committee meetings

  • Join a subcommittee

  • Volunteer for leadership roles

We aim to have more volunteers than positions. A strong program depends on shared effort—when families contribute, Scouts benefit. 

All adult volunteers must complete Safeguarding Youth Training. All adults share responsibility for keeping Scouts safe. Key principles:

• Two-deep leadership (no one-on-one situations)

• Clear reporting process for concerns

Pack 909 is chartered by First Christian Church of McKinney, which sponsors and supports the pack. Membership in the church is not required.

Scouting is non-sectarian and open to all families.

• Encourages a sense of “Duty to God,” guided by each family’s beliefs

• Some general, non-denominational prayers may be included

If you have concerns, please contact pack leadership.

Fundraising helps Scouts contribute to their own Scouting experience.

• A portion supports the Pack

• A portion is credited to the Scout’s account

• Funds can be used for fees, camps, and activities

This helps teach responsibility, goal-setting, and work ethic.
