Girl Scouts / Cub Scouts
Morris Brandon is proud to have Girl Scout Troops and Cub Scout Dens as part of their community. Please see below for more information.
Girl Scouts
Brandon girls can join Girl Scouts starting in 1st Grade. Meetings are usually held once a month during the week at the school until approximately 3:30 or 4:00pm. Registration takes place in the Spring and troops are assigned over the summer. We will do our best to accommodate all girls that wish to be a part of the troop! If you are new to the school and/or your daughter wishes to join the Girl Scouts and is not already assigned to a troop, email Darla Hays, Area Executive, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, at dhays@gsgatl.org. For more information about Girl Scouts, please visit the Atlanta Council website https://www.girlscoutsatl.org.
Cub Scouts
Cub Scouts is a year-round program designed to meet the needs of young boys and their families. The Cub Scout program allows boys and their parents to do fun things like camping, hiking, and racing Pinewood Derby cars while meeting new friends, building character and social skills, improving physical fitness, and developing a spirit of community service. Boys begin as Tiger Cubs in the first grade, then move into the Wolf and Bear Cub Scout programs (second and third grades), and then into the Webelos Scouts program (fourth and fifth grade). Cub Scouts transition into the Boy Scout program near the end of the fifth grade.
Boys from Morris Brandon are eligible to join Cub Scout Pack 298. Pack 298 consists of about 150 boys, mostly from Morris Brandon. Pack 298 is sponsored by Northside Methodist Church and meetings are typically held at the Scout Lodge there, but the Cub Scout program is not affiliated with any particular faith or denomination and boys of all faiths and denominations are welcome.
The Cub Scouts in each grade are organized into Dens of about ten boys led by an adult volunteer, who serves as the Den Leader. The Dens typically meet twice a month. The Den Leader picks the meeting days and location for each Den.
If your son is interested joining Cub Scouts or if you are interested in serving as an adult volunteer, please contact the Cubmaster Mark Edwards at 404-579-1600 or medwards711@gmail.com.
