About

BSA Cub Scout Pack #3020 serves Madeira, Ohio and the surrounding area. It’s official BSA unit number is Pack #3020, but it is generally known as just Pack #20 locally.

Pack 20 Madeira is a volunteer-run organization supported by both the national Boy Scouts of America (BSA) and the local Dan Beard Council (DBC). The Pack is chartered by Madeira Silverwood-Presbyterian Church (MSPC) and is over 80 years old.

Membership is available to boys and girls in grades Kindergarten through fifth, although Cub Scouting is a family activity and siblings and other family members are encouraged to attend all events and meetings. It’s also important to note that it’s not necessary to be a resident of Madeira in order to join Pack 20. Membership is open to anybody in the area, so friends and families from other neighborhoods that may be interested in participating with you are welcome to join. It’s never too late to start!

Pack Committee

Every pack has a Pack Committee, which consists of at least three members (Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer).
