Cub Scout Pack 1701

Lakeway Elementary

1701 Lohman’s Crossing Road, Austin, Texas 78734

August 6, 2024 Update


Dear Pack 1701 Parents,

I wanted to provide you with an important update regarding our pack's charter. I am also including some history for transparency.



Since the announcement, a number of parents have voiced their concerns to the PTO, and the PTO has reconsidered our charter approval. 


On July 10, 2024, the PTO voted to not approve the charter for this coming year. 


Some of the factors the PTO cited for their decision included:


Since July 10, we have been working to secure a new chartering organization. However, given that it takes a couple of months to plan a program for a pack, we would not be able to start until 2025 at the earliest.


I don't want any of your kids to miss out on scouting opportunities, so I encourage you to sign up with an alternative pack. 


You can find more information at https://beascout.scouting.org


If we are successful in creating a pack focused on Lakeway Elementary for boys and girls, and you want to join, it is easy to transfer from one scout pack to another.


Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly.


Yours In Scouting,

Earl

Starting in August 2024, Lakeway Elementary will be home to a Family Scout Pack for both girls and boys. Chartered by the LWE PTO, our pack will meet at Lakeway Elementary, aiming to offer an inclusive and integrated scouting experience for Lakeway Elementary families. Our focus is on creating a community-centered program that helps our children build character, learn citizenship, and develop personal fitness and leadership. Here’s how we plan to achieve this:
