**Pack 176 is a Cub Scout Pack for Boys**

*Pack 912 is a mixed gender Pack in Hutto*

No, Cub Scouts is not only for boys. The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) made a significant policy change in recent years to welcome both boys and girls into the Cub Scouts program. This change was implemented to offer the benefits of scouting to a broader range of young people and to provide families with the option to participate in a program that includes all of their children.

As a result of this policy change:

1. **Family Scouting:** Cub Scout packs can now be structured as “family packs,” which means they may include both boys and girls in the same dens and activities.

2. **Den Structure:** While dens can still be single-gender, allowing for all-boy or all-girl dens, the option for co-ed dens (with both boys and girls) is available within the Cub Scouts program.

3. **Rank Advancement:** Boys and girls follow the same program curriculum, work on the same adventures, and have the opportunity to earn the same ranks and badges within their respective dens.

This change aligns with the broader trend of promoting inclusivity and offering scouting opportunities to all youth, regardless of gender. It’s important to check with local Cub Scout packs or the Boy Scouts of America council in your area to understand how they have implemented these changes and to get specific details about their pack structure and policies.
