The Cub Scout Program

In Cub Scouting, you and your family join in on the program with your child, and you will help them along the way.
Cub Scouts work on adventures and as they advance, they will earn badges and other recognition that they wear on their uniform.
As your child grows in Cub Scouting, your role will change with them, from hands-on involvement to guiding and coaching

Your child’s success in Cub Scouting depends on you!

A Commitment for Success

The Cub Scouting program takes place at two levels:

Your child will be a part of a den, a small group of Cub Scouts in the same grade level and who are of the same gender.	90 mins per month Timing depends on den
All dens, from TK-5, make up a pack. Once a month, the dens, with their families, come together at the pack meeting and Cub Scouts are recognized for the adventures and badges they have earned.	90 mins per month Monday evenings

Cub Scouting - It’s a Family Thing!

The Cub Scout Program depends on scouts AND their families.

We cannot be successful as a pack unless parents are involved with scout adventures ~and~ volunteer at the pack level

Some events where parents can get involved

Some year-long commitments which help the Pack run smoothly

Volunteer Expectations

Since Cub Scouts cannot be successful without Parent involvement, we REQUIRE parents to be involved at the den & pack level

Parents Committee:

At least one parent from each den needs to be a member of the parents committee
Being a member of the parents committee helps to guide the pack on a variety of needs without having to be the sole person running an event

Rank Level Events Coordination:
