Cub Scouting
The Cub Scout Program is designed to provide boys and their
families with fun, education, and exciting times to grow together in
community spirit. We do all kinds of activities, like family camping,
Pinewood Derby, community service projects, and so much more!
The "Pack" is our large unit, usually about 40-50 boys. The Pack is
split into smaller groups of 10-12 boys called "Dens", based on their
age and rank. These Dens, as well as the Pack are run by volunteer
leadership! Cub scouting is a neighborhood centered, family oriented
program that gives the boys the opportunity for many experiences while
learning to become good citizens. The achievements for rank advancement
are packed full of FUN and develop skills that your boy may not
otherwise be exposed to! We are an active group that runs on the power of our adult
volunteers who, just like you and me, have other activities, (jobs,
family, church, sports, etc.) that compete for our time. However, just
as for the boys, the time you devote to Cub Scouting will be fun and
rewarding!
Some of the Scout
achievements will be done at home with the parents. Parents are
expected at the Pack meetings.
