Pack 23 was started by Ryan and Tim Miller in August of 2014, at the request of Monsignor Tolentino at St. Michael the Archangel Church. Carlos Salazar, the District Executive for the White Oak District in the National Capital Area Council, played an important role in helping the Pack get its 1st charter with St. Michael’s Church.
The Pack started off with Tim Miller as the Cubmaster, Paula Lockhart as its Committee Chair, and her husband Kwame Gregoire as one of the Den Leaders and Treasurer. The Pack recruited 8 scouts and their parents that September, with their parents filling various roles in the Pack as Den Leaders, Committee, Members, etc.
The Pack has now grown to more than 30 scouts, recruited from St. Michael’s Church as well as surrounding schools in the area. Pack 23 was one of the 1st Packs in the area to have a Lion program as its earliest rank for kindergarteners when the rank was in its pilot program. We are also proud to be one of the 1st Packs in the area to welcome girls as scouts in our pack.
