| Why join Cub Scouts? |
| For the boys, the answer is FUN! For your son, Cub Scouts is a place to mix and have fun with other boys his own age. It’s a safe place, dedicated to the ideal that having fun is about good sportsmanship, good attitude and doing your very best. He may get to do some things with you that you might not have otherwise have done together … things like visiting afire station or ice fishing, building a Pinewood Derby race car, or learning to shoot a bow and arrow or BB gun. And each year he’ll be challenged by new and challenges. For first graders, it may be a craft that he’s never tried before. For older boys, it may be something like driving a nail without driving your thumb … or doing chores around the house … or putting down the Nintendo to identify leaves in the woods … or maybe even being away from home for the very first time, without Mom and Dad. Sound like fun to you? |
| For parents’, the answer’s a bit longer Cub Scouting is all about fun. After all, we’re all volunteers here … and if we weren’t having fun, all of the adult leadership that makes Scouting run could find other ways to be short on our sleep.But ever since it’s creation in 1910, Scouting has been about Fun with a Purpose. The fun activities your sons will enjoy are built around supporting the 10 Purposes of Cub Scouting, purposes that will build valuable skills and character traits that will serve your sons for a lifetime. |
The 10 Purposes of Cub Scouting are: - Character Development
- Spiritual Growth
- Good Citizenship
- Sportsmanship and Fitness
- Family Understanding
- Respectful Relationships
- Personal Achievement
- Friendly Service
- Fun and Adventure
- Preparation for Boy Scouts
| And through them, Cub Scouting teaches: - Building self-esteem through accomplishment
- Trying and learning new skills
- How to get along with others with different (or similar) backgrounds
- Physical fitness
- Citizenship in the community, nation and world
- Cheerful service to others

| One of the unique things about Cub Scouts is that all we ask of our members, be they youth or adults, is that they do their best … what ever their best happens to be. It doesn’t matter if you’re the most scholarly or the least, the most outgoing or the shyest, the most athletic or not. Whether you do fifty push-ups or maybe none at all … if you worked up a good sweat while trying, you’re the kind of guy we’re looking for.
