Cub Scouting's strength is that it is a well-rounded program positively affecting every area of a boy's life.
Cub Scouting encourages boys to achieve a deeper appreciation of others, including peer, parents, and other adults. Early in their Scouting experience, boys learn the value of serving others.
Cub Scouting provides boys with a sense that they are important as individuals. They learn that they are important as individuals. They learn that their Scouting family cares about what happens to them.
Cub Scouting promotes activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when heard decisions have to be made, a boy can look at himself in the mirror and be proud.
What does Cub Scouting cost?Boys and their parents are responsible for $65 in Pack dues which covers the Boy Scouts of America registration fee, a subscription to Boys' Life Magazine, and the basic funds necessary to keep the Pack running. Additional costs include activity fees ($5 for a Pinewood Derby car, covering the costs of camping trips, etc); Uniform; and handbook.
How Cub Scouting WorksYour boy is a member of a den. A den consists of four to eight boys of the same grade who meet according to their schedules. A den leader (usually a parent) is in charge of the activities, which include games, crafts, songs, ceremonies, and lots of fun.
Your boy is a member of a pack. A pack consists of several dens and meets at least once a month. The Cubmaster leads pack meetings, with Cub Scouts and their families in attendance. The pack meeting is made up of fun activities, as well as the presentation of awards that have been earned during the month.
Cub Scouting Opportunities: Outing and CampDens go on field trips to interesting places in the community. Boys of all ages in Cub Scouting can go to day camp, where in five days, they experience a variety of outdoor fun and special activities geared toward their age groups, such as archery, field sports, fishing, swimming, leatherwork, crafts, and special attractions. Cub Scouts (8 or 9, or completed the third grade) can go to resident camp, a three-night experience within a developed theme of adventure and excitement. District organized family camp and pack overnighters are other ways are other ways to have fun camping with other Cub Scouts and their families.
