Pack 48 is based in Uptown New Orleans and chartered by St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. The Scouting Program at St. Andrew's was founded in 1929 and is the oldest Scout Program in the Southeast Louisiana Council.
Pack 48 is inclusive and welcomes all children and families. Our Scouts attend several different area schools, including St. Andrew’s, Newman, ISL, Audubon, Hynes, Morris Jeff, Willow, Ecole Bilingue, and Lycee Francais to name just a few.
Dens in Pack 48 are co-ed and typically have between 6-15 scouts, with one den leader and one assistant den leader.
In Pack 48, we learn together, we play together, and we grow together, but the most important thing we do is have fun together.
Pack 48 meets once a month. At den meetings, scouts play games and do fun activities that teach them invaluable lessons about the outdoors, personal safety, personal fitness, citizenship, and family and reverence.
In addition to pack meetings, we also have activities once a month, such as camping trips, day trips, and other fun events.
We have a lot of fun adventures in Pack 48. We camp at local state parks and every fall we camp at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival. We sleep on battleships and we visit local fire stations. We take day trips to local educational sites such as the INFINITY Science Center, the Kenner Planetarium, the Audubon Louisiana Nature Center, and the World War II Museum.
