About Us
 Pack 601 was chartered on June 1, 1985 and is in the New Horizons District of the Greater St. Louis Area Council of Scouts. We currently are chartered with the Chesterfield Rotary Club and our Cub Scout Pack includes about 85 boys in grades 1-5 (ages 6-11), from Chesterfield and Wildwood Missouri. These boys are grouped into 10-12 dens ranging from Tigers to Webelos. Approximately 40% of the boys at Chesterfield Elementary - the primary source of our recruiting - participate in Cub Scouts (nearly twice the national average). For information about Boy Scouts (ages 11-17), visit www.troop601.org.
