What is Involved?

New Cub Scouts join our pack and are assigned to a den, usually a group of six to eight scouts.  We are a family unit, so boys and girls are combined in their dens.

Lion Cubs (kindergarteners), Tiger Cubs (first-graders), Wolf Cub Scouts (second-graders), Bear Cub Scouts (third-graders), and Webelos Scouts (fourth- and fifth-graders). Each den meets 3-4 times each month for Den meetings and other activities.

Pack 307 holds many of its pack meetings at First English Lutheran Church (http://www.firstenglishfaribault.org/). Den meetings are also held at First English Lutheran Church.  There are also some outings at various locations in the vicinity (such as parks, museums, tours of local businesses, etc.).

Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of our Cubmaster and pack committee. Also, several times each year, the pack arranges for camping and other outdoor activities.

Please note: Cub Scouts is not a "drop-off" activity. A parent or guardian should accompany each scout at activities to serve as his teacher and helper (also known as the boy's "Akela").

Membership

New scouts are welcome at any age, and at any time of the year. Please contact our Committee Chair Jeannette W. to sign up, or to get more information: pack307faribault@gmail.com. 

Can my child join if he/she has a disability or special need?

Absolutely. The Cub Scout's motto is "Do Your Best" which means each boy is encouraged to perform to the best of his ability. If you have any questions about your child's special needs, contact our Committee Chair Jeannette W. at: pack307faribault@gmail.com.

Why Become a Cub Scout?

Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. This year scouting is opened up to boys and girls.  It is a year-round family program designed for boys and girls who are in Kindergarten through fifth grade (or 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting.

The 10 purposes of Cub Scouting are:

1. Character Development
2. Spiritual Growth
3. Good Citizenship
4. Sportsmanship and Fitness
5. Family Understanding
6. Respectful Relationships
7. Personal Achievement
8. Friendly Service
9. Fun and Adventure
10. Preparation for Boy Scouts
