What does Cub Scouting offer my son?
- Cub Scouts teaches our boys strong character, values, good citizenship, and responsibility while having a lot of fun along the way. Scouting provides a great opportunity for your son to interact with other boys his age and you and your son to do many fun activities together, including camping.
- What is the time commitment for Cub Scouts?
- The Pack meets as a group once a month. The individual Dens typically meet twice a month (one meeting and one outing), although each Den has its own schedule.
- What are the responsibilities of a parent?
- Provide help and support for the den and pack.
- Work with your son on advancement projects and activities.
- Attend pack meetings with your son and present his advancement awards to him at the pack meeting.
- Attend and assist with den outings.
- Attend Cub Scout Family events with your son.
- What activities are available to Cub Scouts and their families?

- Space Derby
- Rain Gutter Regatta

- How much is it going to cost?
- The annual Pack 510 dues of $40 covers such items as the National registration fee, Boys' Life Magazine, the Space Derby, Regatta and/or pinewood derby kits, and all patches and awards for our Scouting year.
