Pack 56 is chartered by The Willow School (formerly Lusher Charter School) in the uptown area of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Pack 56 is in the Fleur de Lis District of the Southeast Louisiana Council.
The Pack meets every other Thursday from 5:45-6:45 in The Willow School Lower School Cafeteria (on Willow Street).
For more information about Pack 56 or to join, email Info@pack56.com
The Pack has a closed group on Facebook to post pictures and other info. www.facebook.com/groups/LusherPack56
Pack 56 was established more than 30 years ago (September 1991) through the hard work of Roland "Tiger" Hymel after the original Pack (Pack 22) went inactive for a number of years.
