About Us

Founded in 1973, Pack 73 has been preparing young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

We are a part of Scouts BSA, in the Daniel Boone Council, Looking Glass District and are proudly sponsored by Glen Arden Elementary PTO.

Our Pack calendar is full of adventure, from camping in the great outdoors to racing in our annual Pinewood Derby and much, much more. We're especially excited to include events in the community like day hikes and parades. Food is central to our Scouting experience; be it a hot meal and "cubcakes" or burgers and s'mores around a campfire, we enjoy our experiences as we gather together.

Meetings

Pack 73 meets in Arden, NC the first Tuesday every month September - May. Den meetings are held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month.
