A ministry of
Saint MichaelCatholic Church
Faith. Service. Adventure.
Pack 226 is an all-boy Catholic Cub Scout pack in Bedford, Texas — where boys in kindergarten through 5th grade camp, build, race, serve, and grow closer to God alongside their families.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Pack 226 takes its name from Proverbs 22:6 — the verse that sums up why we exist. We are a ministry first: forming boys into responsible, faith-filled young men through the Cub Scout program, in accordance with Catholic values.

Every boy is welcome — you don’t have to be Catholic or a St. Michael parishioner to join the adventure.

- Work on an adventure or elective
- Knot of the month presentation
- Awards for completed adventures and electives

- Rocket launch — build it, then send it skyward
- Pinewood Derby — the legendary race down the track
- Cub-O — a real orienteering course at Sid Richardson Ranch
- Parade of Lights & Wreaths Across America — serving our community at Christmastime
- Blue & Gold Banquet — celebrating Scouting and our crossovers
On my honor…
On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
A Scout is…
Each month our pack focuses on one point of the Scout Law — and our boys learn what it looks like in real life, at home, at school, and at church.
