Pack 2220 is open to all elementary-aged youth in grades K through 5. Many of our scouts attend Stafford County Public Schools, especially Stafford Elementary and other schools in the Courthouse area — but families from anywhere are welcome.

Kindergarten scouts (Lions) and 1st grade scouts (Tigers) need an adult partner at all meetings and events.

Our pack’s annual dues for 2026-2027 are TBD. To join Scouting, you’ll go to BeAScout, create a login, and fill out an application for Pack 2220.

We also fundraise throughout the year, primarily through our fall popcorn sale, to help fund special events like campouts and derbies. See our Dues & Popcorn page for full details.

Grades 1-5 generally meet from 7:00-8:00 PM most Fridays throughout the school year, with some weekend events too (camping, hiking, the Pinewood Derby, and more). We typically don’t meet on the Friday of a long weekend or during inclement weather.

Kindergarteners (Lions) meet less often — about 1-2 times per month.

We hope you’ll bring your whole family and get involved with our community. Good attendance is encouraged, but we understand scouts have other commitments to balance. If you’re going to miss a meeting, just let your den leader know so they can help your scout catch up.

See our full Uniform Guide for details on the Field Uniform (Class A) and Activity Uniform (Class B), including where to buy them and what patches go where.
The leaders of our pack are parents just like you, whose children participate in Scouting. We are all volunteers, and we meet regularly to make sure the pack runs smoothly. Your contribution is valuable — see our Leadership page to meet the team, or our Volunteer page if you’d like to help run an event.
Yes! The best way to see if Scouting is a good fit is to visit a meeting. Our parent community is very friendly and will make you feel right at home. You can also check out our Facebook page to see what we’re up to, or reach out through our Contact page.
