Cub Scout Pack 362 is based in Ramsey Minnesota. We are a member of the new Northern Star Council, Three Rivers District. Last July, Viking Council (Minneapolis area) and Indianhead Council (St. Paul area) merged, and the end result is the new, improved and larger Northern Star Council. All of our scouts will be receiving the new shoulder strip to replace their Viking Council shoulder strip very soon. Our Charter Sponsor is The awesome and super fun, Ramsey Lions Club! We hold most of our winter Pack meetings at Ramsey Elementary School.
We have 70 Chartered Cub Scouts! We are a large Pack, but we have an excellent group of adult volunteers who work hard to make sure our Pack runs smoothly, and a Cub Master that is committed to seeing that the boys have a fun Pack Meeting every month and a quality year-around program!
In the year 2002 we had grown to over 125 Scouts, so we decided to do a little 'down-sizing' and we split our Pack to make it a little easier to handle. Some of the Leaders and Scouts left our Pack to start a new one, and Pack 623, sponsored by the Lord of Life Church in Ramsey, was born. They have gotten off to a great start!
As a Pack we have earned many awards!
