In 1930, the Boy Scouts of America created a new opportunity called Cub Scouting for boys younger than Boy Scout Age. Cub Scouting is a year-round, home-centered program sponsored by a chartered organization. Cub Scouting emphasizes involvement between boys and their parents, adult leaders, and friends. In the multi-dimensional plan of the Boy Scouts of America, Cub Scouting is where it all begins.
Boys in the first through fifth grades may join a Cub Scout Pack and be assigned to a Den. A Den is composed of 4 to 8 boys of the same grade or age level. Most Dens, Tiger Cub Dens (1st grade), Cub Scout Dens (2nd and 3rd grade) and Webelos Dens (4th and 5th grade) usually meet twice a month. The Den meetings are usually held at the Den Leader’s home or rotated through each Den parent’s home. Field trips are also used periodically as Den meetings. Den meetings usually last an hour to an hour and a half. Once a month, all of the Dens and family members gather for a Pack meeting under the direction of the Cub Master. The Adult leaders and Pack Committee members meet at the monthly Committee meetings to establish the Pack events. |

|
|

6. Respectful Relationships
|
|
2. Spiritual Growth
|
7. Personal Achievement
|
|
3. Good Citizenship
|
8. Friendly Service

| At Pack 637, we will do our best to ensure each scouting activity will fulfill one of these purposes. But not everything in Cub Scouting has to be serious. Silly songs, fun skits, energetic games all have their place is our program as well. |
