About Cub Scout Pack 311
Who We Are
We are a Cub Scout pack located in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, based in Valley Village, CA. Our Scouts come from the east valley: Valley Village, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino and more.
Our Scouts are kindergarten through fifth graders of all genders.
Why Cub Scouts?
The mission of Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and the Scout Law, which endeavors scouts to strive to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
These values are encouraged through fun family activities centered on: outdoor skills, physical fitness, community service, family values, cooking, first aid, and leadership.
How We Work
Eligibility
Youths of all genders from Kindergarten through 5th Grade can join our Cub Scout pack!
Pack 311 is open to people of all faiths and backgrounds. Religion plays no role in our everyday pack activities.
Scouting Year
Our year mirrors the typical school year (August through June), also with fun activities through the summer months.
The Pack
The Pack is the full group of scouts from grades K – 5. We meet as a full group once a month, typically on the 3rd Thursday of the month from 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. at Temple Beth Hillel in Valley Village, CA.
Scouts by Age
Our Pack is divided into Dens based on grade level:
Lion - Kindergarten
Tiger - 1st Grade
Wolf - 2nd Grade
Bear - 3rd Grade
Webelos - 4th Grade
Arrow of Light - 5th Grade
Dens usually meet 1-2x/month, often at a family's home or local park. Den meetings are scheduled by the den leadership in coordination with the parents.

Chartering Organization
Our chartering organization is Temple Beth Hillel. Although our chartering organization is a Jewish temple, Pack 311 is not a Jewish organization or a Jewish Cub Scout pack. (There are Cub Scout packs which “advertise” themselves as being observant of one religion or another exclusively. We are not one of those packs.)
With the help of powerful learning projects and exciting outdoor activities, we aim to teach children that doing their best can be a fun and rewarding experience—no matter the difficulty of the challenge.
