Why Join Cub Scouting?


Your time is valuable. More than ever, today’s families struggle to find time 
to spend together. Cub Scouting helps to support your family by providing 
ready-made opportunities for you and your son to do things together.
Your son needs to belong to a group of boys his own age. Through this sense 
of belonging, he builds his self-esteem and learns to get along with others. As 
a parent, you want to be assured that the groups that your boy joins will teach 
values consistent with good citizenship, character development, and physical 
fitness. The Boy Scouts of America has been weaving these lifetime values into 
fun and educational activities since 1910.
In a society where your son is taught that winning is everything, Cub Scouting 
teaches him to “do his best” and to be helpful to others.
Scouting teaches family values and works to strengthen your relationship with 
your son. Scouting activities can bring added value to the time you already 
have with your son.
He will learn to live by the code of “On my honor.”
But we know that boys do not join Cub Scouting just to get their character built. 
Boys join because it is fun.

How Does Cub Scouting Work?


One unique thing about Cub Scouting is that you, as his family, join in on the 
program with your son, and you will help him along the way. The family is the 
basis of Cub Scouting. It exists to support your family and help enrich your 
family time together. Boys have a different handbook at each grade level, with 
suggested activities that are age-appropriate for their developmental level. As your 
boy advances through these books by working on activities with you, he will earn 
badges and other recognition that he can wear on his uniform. Your son’s success 
in Cub Scouting depends on you!
The Cub Scouting program takes place at two levels. Your son will be a part of a den, 
a small group of boys in the same grade level who usually meet weekly. All dens, from 
grades 1 through 5, make up a pack. Once a month, the dens, with 
their families, are together at the pack meeting, where boys show off 
the new skills they have learned during the month and are recognized 
for the badges they have earned. All boys, when they join, earn the 
Bobcat badge first. Your den leader will show you how.
