Cub Scouts is a family program.  Siblings may participate in many pack events and the entire family is encouraged to work with the scout to achieve his goals. 

Cub Scouts is an all-volunteer, adult-led program.  Parents and other community volunteers plan and carry out pack activities.  Numerous training opportunities are provided by Boy Scouts of America throughout the year. 

Packs are chartered to a local non-profit organization that provides a meeting location and other support as determined by the pack and the charter organization.
