Cub Scouting is a program unlike any other. Fun, excitement, and challenge…all in an environment that encourages citizenship training, character development, fitness, and family.
Where else would your son be involved in…
· Pinewood Derby races more exciting than NASCAR? Hearts pound and boys cheer as the cars zoom down the track. Parents who are still kids-at-heart race their cars against their boys. It the loudest, wildest, fastest night of the year!
· Community Service Projects? Cub Scouts help with a variety of projects, from collecting canned goods for local shelters to helping local churches, neighborhood groups, and organizations with activities.
· Age appropriate outdoor fun? The Cub Scout camping program includes both day camps and overnight experiences at facilities in our area. There’s nothing like learning to shoot an arrow on the archery range, performing skits, or roasting marshmallows around a campfire.
Cub Scouting is not a spectator sport. The ultimate goal of Cub Scouts is to bring the family together to participate in positive activities. That’s where parents come in.
As a Cub Scout parent you can expect:
· To join a “den.” All Cub Scouts join a “pack” and are assigned to a den. A den is a neighborhood group of 6-8 boys in the same grade as your son. On average, each den will meet three times a month to work on activities and projects, and to have fun! The time you invest in your son’s den is the most important part of his time in Cub Scouts.
· To make memories that will last a lifetime. You and your son will go outdoors, indoors, throughout the community, and end up learning from each other and sharing moments that will be impossible to forget.
· To have fun. There’s no doubt about it. Cub Scouts continues to be one of the most exciting programs for boys. From camping trips and day camps to the smile on your son’s face when he earns his first badge, you and your son will have fun.
