The Boy Scout Troop’s associated Cub Scout Pack, Pack 1112, made history in 2018 as being the first Cub Scout Pack in Michigan to induct 9 girls into the program. Both Troop 1104 and Pack 1112 are model Scouting organizations recognized nationally for their programs, leadership and all-inclusiveness. Starting in February, BSA Troop 11104 will be launching an all-girl Troop, Troop 9-1104, in which many of those girls who joined as Cub Scouts will now cross over into the newly created Scouts BSA program.
