Ages: Boys and Girls Grades K-5 What is Cub Scouting?
We’re all about encouraging boys and girls to make friends, be helpful to others, and do their very best no matter the outcome. With the help of powerful learning projects and exciting outdoor activities, we aim to teach children that doing their best can be a fun and rewarding experience—no matter the difficulty of the challenge. |
How does Cub Scouts Work?
Cub Scouting is a family-centered year-round program that has been shown to prepare young people for life after sports and school. The program offers fun and challenging activities in a safe supportive environment where youth grow in confidence, gain friends, and explore new interests. Cub Scouting enables busy parents to maximize the time they have available to positively influence their children's lives.
The Cub Scout program is designed to involve your child with other children the same age, where together they have fun, make friends and see new things, while gaining a sense of personal achievement from the new skills learned.
Cub Scouts are structured around Dens and Packs that help organize the program into various groups.

Your child becomes a member of a Den…
- A Den is made up of no more than eight children who are the same age and/or in the same grade.
- The Den meets two to three times a month. One of the Den meetings each month is a “Go See It,” or field trip.
- The Den has a Den leader, and the Den leader shares the planning of the Den meeting with the parents.
Your child is also a member of a Pack…
- A Pack consists of several Dens and meets once a month.
- The Cubmaster leads the monthly Pack meeting, and each Den will have a part in the Pack meeting.
- Some months, the Pack meeting will have a special theme, such as Pinewood Derby, Blue & Gold Banquet or guest speakers. Other months may be devoted to recognizing the Scouts for the projects they have completed by the presentation of beads, belt loops, activity pins or rank advancements.
