About Pack 314
Cub Scout Pack 314 is part of Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America (BSA)). Pack 314 is chartered through St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Church at 5801 Falls of Neuse Rd, Raleigh, NC.
Pack 314 resides within the North Star District, which is part of the Occoneechee Council in North Carolina.
As we are a "Cub Scout" Pack, our doors are wide open to ALL youth in (or entering) Kindergarten through 5th grade.
Pack 314 has been continuously charted since 1964. Our average annual membership is 30-35 Scouts. While Pack 314 is proud of every Scout that has been part of the Pack, we are especially proud of the significant number of Eagle Scouts (~70 young men and women) who started their Scouting adventure with us. We are also proud of the many "Quality Unit" and other awards Pack 314 has earned over the years.
Pack 314 follows the regulations of the BSA. The Pack's focus is for Scouts to have fun - and in the process supplement the education they receive at home, church, and school by fostering character development and spiritual growth.
The twelve core values in Scouting are that a Scout is "trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent". Pack 314 places great emphasis on those values, and for every Cub Scout to "do their best" in everything they undertake.
Pack 314 also places extreme emphasis on "youth safety" and "youth protection". We ensure that our Leaders are formally trained, and that they are familiar with and adhere to BSA's Guide to Safe Scouting. We mandate "two-deep leadership" ALWAYS, to provide the safest environment possible for the boys in the Pack. For all activities planned within the Pack, "age-appropriate" and "safe" are mandatory requirements (as well as "FUN").
