Join Cub Scouts
Cub Scouts is an exciting, family-oriented program where boys and girls discover adventure, build character, and learn the value of teamwork. Open to youth in kindergarten through fifth grade, Cub Scouting encourages kids to grow in confidence as they explore new interests and develop skills that last a lifetime. From outdoor adventures like camping and archery to hands-on STEM activities and creative projects, Cub Scouts learn by doing. Along the way, they practice important values such as helping others, doing their best, and having fun alongside friends and family.
Things to know about Cub Scouts:
- Open to boys and girls in grades K-5.
- Packs participate in both indoor and outdoor experiences, as well as group and individual activities that promote growth and learning.
- Every adult volunteers in some way.
- A great way to make new friends – Cub Scouts offers a wonderful opportunity for your son or daughter to make friends with both boys and girls from the school and neighborhood.
- Cub Scouts don’t do any rigorous, outdoor survival-type camping and the camp out doesn’t last longer than a weekend. Other parents in your pack can help teach you the basics. The most important part of our outdoor program is that you’re outside with your child, enjoying a fun experience together.
- Uniforms – The Cub Scout uniform displays all of your child’s accomplishments in Scouting. But maybe more importantly, it gives them a sense of belonging to a group.
- What’s a pack? What’s a den? – A pack is the group of families in your community belonging to the same Cub Scout group. This is the group with which you’ll do most of your Cub Scout activities. A pack organizes its members into dens, smaller groups by grade level. Another way to this about it: Your child goes to an elementary school (pack) but is placed into a teacher’s class (den).
