So why wouldn't you want to join our group?!

     Cub Scouting is for boys in grades 1st through 5th (or ages 7 through 10).  

    Once a month, all the boys and leaders will get together for a pack meeting.  The entire group is called a pack.  Our pack is identified by the number "29."

    The boys are put into subgroups by grade (or age).  These subgroups are called dens.  There are five dens:  Tiger Cubs, Wolf Cubs, Bear Cubs, Webelos I, and Webelos II.  Dens usually meet at least twice a month.  Often, one of the meetings will be a "field trip" (or as we call it, a "go see it!").

    Tiger Cubs are boys in the 1st grade.
    Wolf Cubs are boys in the 2nd grade.
    Bear Cubs are boys in the 3rd grade.
    Webelos I are boys in the 4th grade.
    Webelos II are boys in the 5th grade.

    Regardless of where a boy starts, he must first earn his Bobcat Badge.  This recognizes that the scout understands some important basics of scouting.  Please click on the link to the left for more information.

 

Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Scout Oath, Scout Law, and the Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.
