Pack 101 is one of the oldest packs in the Aloha Council with over 50 years of history. Our sponsor is the Hawaii Kai Lions Club.

Pack 101 is Hawaii Kai's Cub Scout Pack — a community of families raising kids who are curious, capable, and connected to something bigger than themselves. Our Scouts hike the Koʻolau ridges, serve the shores of Maunalua Bay, camp at Bellows Air Force Station Beach, and march in the Hawaii Kai Holiday Parade. They volunteer at the Honolulu Marathon and Hapalua Half Marathon every year — and they cross the Arrow of Light bridge into Scouts BSA ready for whatever comes next. Pack 101 spans six dens — Lion through Arrow of Light — covering Kindergarten through 5th grade. Each den has its own Den Leader, its own monthly meeting schedule, and its own adventure trail. But every den is part of the same Pack: same Pack meetings, same campouts, same hikes, same parade. The Pack is the community. The den is where the Scouting happens. |
Cub Scouts is for boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grade. Scouts join the rank corresponding their year in school:
- Lion - Kindergarten
- Tiger - First grade
- Wolf - Second grade
- Bear - Third grade
- Webelos - Fourth grade
- Arrow of Light - Fifth grade
Meetings are held in the recreation room by the tennis courts, on the right as you enter the park.

Meetings — Pack 101 holds approximately 10 Pack meetings per year on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, following the Hawaii school calendar. Two August meetings kick off the year: Return to Scouting Night (for returning families) and Recruitment Night (open to new families). The Blue & Gold Banquet in late February is held on a Sunday evening and counts as the February Pack meeting. Pack meetings use a rotating activity station format — four simultaneous stations led by parent volunteers, with dens rotating every five minutes. |

Service & Fundraising — Pack 101 serves the community every September at the annual Wetlands Service Day. The Pack also runs two volunteer fundraisers: the Honolulu Marathon water station in December and the Hapalua Half Marathon water station in April. These fundraisers offset Pack costs and keep dues manageable. All families are expected to participate in at least one fundraiser per year. Special Events — Pack 101 marches in the Hawaii Kai Holiday Parade every November, holds an annual fishing trip in January, and races in the Pinewood Derby each March. The Blue & Gold Banquet in late February is the Pack's signature celebration — a potluck dinner with rank awards and the biggest gathering of the year. Each of these events has a designated lead volunteer who coordinates logistics from start to finish.

Our scouts are encouraged to wear their Class A uniforms to our monthly pack meetings and official events like the Blue & Gold Banquet. For den meetings and more informal outdoor activities, scouts can wear their Class B uniform (a pack t-shirt).
Class A uniforms should include at minimum a shirt, neckerchief and slide, belt, and shorts. These can be purchased at the Aloha Council Scout Shop at 42 Puiwa Rd, Honolulu. You can call them at (808) 595-6366 for assistance. You can read about the uniforms for each age group on Scouting.org and purchase items online.
The Class B uniforms (pack t-shirts) can be purchased at any pack meeting for $20.
Our charter organization is the Hawai‘i Kai Lions Club, a member of the District 50 Hawaii Lions and the Lions Clubs International (LCI). Their mission is to empower volunteers to serve in their community, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.You can learn more on their website.
