Pack 321 Welcomes You!


Welcome to Cub Scouting


1.         What is Cub Scouting?

 

            Cub Scouting is a way for boys in 1st through 5th grade to have fun in a different setting than school, sports, or one-on-one play dates.  Along the way, the boys are introduced to concepts such as conservation, citizenship, fitness, outdoor skills (hiking and camping), and safety in a variety of situations.  The most important concept is the Cub Scout motto:  "Do Your Best."

 


2.         How is it organized?

 

            Each grade level forms its own "Den."  First graders are Tigers; Second, Wolves; Third, Bears; Fourth, Webelos; Fifth, a second year of Webelos.  Each den usually has between three to twelve boys, and they tend to grow over time.  If a grade level gets too large, it could be split into two dens.  When all of the dens meet together for an activity, they are called a "Pack."  Currently, there are about 25 boys in Pack 321.

 


3.         Who leads the Cub Scouts?

 

            At the Pack level, all leaders are volunteers and are usually the parent of a Scout.  The "Cubmaster" leads Pack activities, "Den Leaders" lead the den activities.  The Tiger (1st Grade) level is hoped to be a Scout-Parent experience for most activities, although one parent will usually emerge as Den Leader.  The Cubmaster, Den Leaders, and other parent-held positions (such as Treasurer) form the "Pack Committee" and together plan Pack activities and help make sure the Pack keeps on progressing.  The Cubmaster and Den Leaders will help a new Den and Den Leader get the den going.  There are training programs to help new Den Leaders and anyone taking a leadership role goes through a brief but thorough Youth Protection Training program.
