Here at Pack 3375, we're all about family! When you register your child for Cub Scouts, everyone becomes a member. Parents, guardians, aunts and uncles, grandparents, godparents, and (of course) siblings, are welcomed and encouraged to join in on the fun. Not only will your Scout make new friends, but you'll find that you do as well. That atmosphere is something we're very proud of and look forward to each year.
Now that you've registered, you may be wondering what to do next. Here are the Pack 3375 1-2-3's for getting started!
Communications
TroopwebhostCS: A few days after you submit a youth application, either paper or electronic, your Scout will be registered with Pack 3375. Heart of America Council regularly syncs their records with Scoutbook and we synchronize that with TroopWebhostCS, the program we use to communicate with families and track your Scout's advancement. When that happens, you'll receive an email asking you to connect to your Scout's account. It's very important that you open that email and follow the instructions.
FACEBOOK: We have a private Facebook group for families only. This group is where we post photos, event reminders, share events, and more! You need to be invited to this group by a member or request access. For the privacy of our Scouts, we are very careful about who we provide access to. You are welcomed to invite grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, etc. Please let us know in advance by sending us an email at cubscoutspack3375@gmail.com or making a post in the group - that way we don't deny them access. Join us there when you can!
BAND. We have started a BAND contact list you can join at https://band.us/n/aaa2bdwdEaB2O . This BAND is for immediate communications and also list the calendar
NEW PARENT GUIDE & CALENDAR: Our New Parent Guide includes everything you need or want to know about our upcoming year. There's something for everyone, like how our Pack is organized, how we communicate, what you need to buy for your Scout, uniform requirements, what our Pack dues are, and more. Because it is sensitive information, this is posted in the Files section of our private Facebook group.

We've said it before, and we'll say it at least a million times more, we're so glad you've decided to join and trust us with your Cub Scouting adventure!
