Boy Scout Troop 160 was chartered in 1956 at Centenary United Methodist Church. The troop has continually maintained that charter at Centenary United Methodist Church and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006.

The troop is �owned� by a chartered organization, which receives a national charter yearly to use the Scouting program as a part of its youth work. Each chartered organization provides a meeting place, selects a Scoutmaster, appoints a troop committee, and chooses a chartered organization representative.

Troop 160 meets in a freestanding structure (the �Scout Hut�) on the church property. This structure is only used for scouting activities. The troop also has full use of other church facilities when needed. This includes the sanctuary (which is used for Courts of Honor and Eagle ceremonies), the fellowship hall (which is used for Courts of Honor and family fellowship meals), and classrooms (which are used for patrol meetings, merit badge classes and Boards of Review).

We currently have scouts who attend the following schools: Grimsley High School Western High School Kaiser Middle School Lindley Elementery School Bishop McGuinness High School Our Lady of Grace Catholic School Ragsdale High School St Pius X Catholic School As of Spring of 2010 our troop has 38 active Scouts.

Troop 160 has an adult leadership staff that plans monthly camping or outings for the scouts to participate in. They continue to encourage the scouts to have fun while learning and advancing toward the rank of Eagle. We do community work, fundraising and special projects throughout the year. The leadership is passed down through the older scouts and the younger scouts. There is self-reliance taught to all scouts and practiced at all the meetings and activities. From planning meals and cooking on campouts to organizing Eagle projects, the scouts always participate in every aspect of the learning experience.

Cub Scout Pack 160 meets on Monday Nights from September to May. Our meetings start at 6:30pm and end around 8:00pm.

Pack 160 is part of the Guilford District in the Old North State Council.  The Pack serves approximately 20 to 30 boys weekly with a full range of age appropriate activities through its five ranks.  The five ranks in Cub Scouting are Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos I and Webelos II.

Boys are grouped together in dens by age or grade.  All Cub Scouts must earn their Bobcat award regardless of when they begin.  This creates a common link between all the boys in a Pack.

In the Tiger Den Cub Scouts and their adult partners are introduced to Scouting through games, activities and lessons specifically designed for First graders. The Second graders or 7 year olds, strive for the rank of Wolf as they add more to their knowledge of family, home, school and community.

As a Bear, the requirements become a little more challenging for the Third graders.  The model for Scouting is to build upon the things the boy has learned each year developing a broad interest in many things.  From sports to science, from faith to civic duty each rank challenges the boy to be a good citizen.

The highest level of Cub Scouting is reaching the Webelos rank.  Fourth and Fifth grade boys work toward earning the Arrow of Light.  The Arrow of Light, the highest award for a Cub Scout, is the pinnacle of his years in the den and Pack.  More involved activities in greater depth prepare the Cub Scout to become a Boy Scout.  Upon completion of the Webelos rank and earning the Arrow of Light your son can bridge over into Troop 160 fully prepared to continue on his journey to earn the highest rank in Scouting---the Eagle award.

Pack 160 believes every boy deserves the opportunity to be a Cub Scout and to have a well trained leader.  Our leadership staff works closely with the Boy Scouts of America and the Old North State Council to maintain their knowledge and skills.  Annually the Pack earns training awards and assists in District and Council activities.  We encourage community pride through service projects and are open to visitation for all our activities.  We invite your questions and ask that you consider us when looking for a place to help your son become a good citizen of the Greensboro community.  We also encourage your participation in our Pack by becoming part of our leadership team.
