🟦 Our Mission

To prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lives by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Scouting helps build strong character, citizenship, and physical fitness—all through hands-on learning and outdoor adventures.

🤔 What Do Scouts Do?

Cub Scouting means doing. Scouts stay active through a variety of fun, engaging activities that build life skills while they play and explore.

Some examples:

• Go hiking and camping

• Race Pinewood Derby cars

• Complete STEM and outdoor challenges

• Help with community service projects

• Earn badges, pins, and awards
  
  

By doing these things, scouts learn responsibility, teamwork, and confidence.

👪 Do Parents Have a Role?

Yes—and it’s an important one.

Cub Scouting is a family-oriented program. You’ll be invited to attend meetings, events, and outings with your scout, especially in the early years. As your scout grows older, your role becomes more supportive and less hands-on.

• You are not expected to lead right away

• You choose your level of involvement

• Many parents find joy and connection through participation
  
  

You may be surprised how much you enjoy it! Many leaders started by “just helping” and caught the Scouting spirit along the way.

🎂 What Ages Can Join?

Cub Scouting is open to boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade (ages 5–10). The program includes:

Kindergarten - Lion Cubs

1st Grade - Tiger Cubs

2nd Grade - Wolf Cubs

3rd Grade - Bear Cubs

4th Grade - Webelos

5th Grade - Arrow of Light

🏁 How Do Scouts Achieve Their Goals?

Scouts work on rank-specific adventures with their dens (scouts of the same grade). They also participate in pack-wide activities, which include scouts of all ages.

• Activities support the goals of citizenship, character, and fitness

• Learning happens through doing, not just listening

• Events are both indoor and outdoor
  
  

Whether it’s building something, hiking a trail, or performing a skit, every activity helps your scout grow.

🎒 What Supplies Are Needed?

To participate in Cub Scouts, your scout will need:

• A Cub Scout uniform shirt (blue or khaki, depending on age)

• A handbook for their current rank

• A neckerchief and slide (which change each year)

Optional items include hats, belts, and pants—but the main shirt and some accessories may be used for several years.

Webelos scouts (4th–5th grade) may choose to switch to the khaki-and-olive uniform worn in Scouts BSA.
