Cub Scout Pack 454 · McMinnville, OR
Where McMinnville kids in kindergarten through 5th grade discover their best selves through adventure, friendship, and service.
Our Pack by the Numbers
What Cub Scouts Is All About
Every week, Pack 454 gives kids something to look forward to.
From camping at Silver Falls to hiking the Coast Range, Pack 454 gets kids off screens and into nature. Every outing builds confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of the outdoors.
Dens are small — 6 to 8 kids — which means every Scout is known, included, and valued. Cross-school friendships form over shared campfires, service projects, and too many s'mores.
Cooking, first aid, woodworking, coding, and rocket building. Scouts learn by doing. Every badge earned is proof of a real skill mastered — not just a box checked.
Pack 454 believes every Scout can make McMinnville better. Trail cleanups, food drives, and parades teach kids that their effort matters — and that helping others feels great.

“On my honor, I will do my best — to do my duty to God and my country, to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”
— The Scout Oath
From McMinnville Families
“My son was painfully shy in first grade. After one year with Pack 454, he stood up at the Blue & Gold Banquet and spoke in front of 80 people. I cried the entire time. These leaders are magic.”

What's Coming Up
A formal(ish) celebration of Scouting's birthday! We'll enjoy a catered dinner, celebrate rank advancements, recognize volunteer leaders, and welcome bridging Webelos into Boy Scouts. Dress up — this one's special.
The most exciting day of the Scout year! Scouts race their hand-carved wooden cars down the track. Awards for Fastest, Best Design, and Most Creative. Cheering family members make this an event to remember. Car weigh-in the night before.
Pack 454 gives back! Scouts earn community service hours by cleaning up trails and picking up litter at Joe Dancer Park. Gloves and bags provided. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. A great chance to earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award.
Your kid belongs here.
No experience needed. No special gear to buy right away. Just a curious kid and a willing parent. Every kid belongs in Scouts.
Pack 454 meets every Monday at 6pm · First Baptist Church, McMinnville, OR
