1. 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!

2. 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!

3. 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.

4. 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.

But we know that boys do not join Cub Scouting just to get their character built. Boys join because it is fun!

Scouting is fun with a purpose!

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 esists to support our family and help enrich your family tie together. Boys have a different handbook at each grade level, with suggested act...ivities 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 part of a den; a small group of boys in the same grade level who 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 the 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 Bobat badge first. Your den leader will show you how.
