Cub Scout Pack 733 was chartered on June 26, 1994 at Advent United Methodist Church. The pack had 6 scouts and 5 leaders the first year. Pack 733 has continued to grow over the years.
In 1998, the Pack had over 100 Scouts, so Pack 760, now chartered at Eastminster Presbyterian Church, was split off. In 2004, the Pack had grown to over 120 scouts so another new pack, Pack 833, was split off. Both Pack 733 and 833 are chartered at Advent United Methodist Church.
Today, Pack 733 has 74 registered scouts and 27 registered leaders, organized into 8 dens. Since Pack 733 was chartered, it has received the Boy Scouts of America Quality Unit Award for 11 of the 12 years and has received the BSA Gold Star Award twice.
It also received the United Methodist Church’s Bishop’s Award in 2005.
