• All boys in grades 1 through 5 are invited to join McLouth Cub Scouts Pack 81. Scouts build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, boys develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, such as leadership, strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth. For more information about Cub Scouts, or if you would like to join, please contact Carrie Koch: (913) 796-6755.
