What is Cub Scouts?
The Cub Scouts organization has been around since 1930, and is a part of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Cub Scouting is for boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grades. Cub Scouts is a family-oriented program designed to foster and promote family relationships, respect for others, service, and personal achievement. Most importantly it’s about kids and their parents having fun and learning, all in a positive, community environment. The goal is to help develop well-rounded and well-adjusted kids, and if interested, get them ready to move into Scouts BSA by the time they leave fifth grade.
How does it work?
Cub Scouts are organized by Packs which typically are based around a school or neighborhood. Each Pack is then divided into grade-specific Dens. Parents help organize and run meetings, events, and other activities for the dens and pack.
Each Den meets approximately once a month, so the Scouts can work on earning achievements that count toward rank advancement. Den meetings also include games, songs, and age-appropriate learning. Visit the BSA's Advancement Trail page for specific information on the six den levels and what they work on during the Scouting year.
In addition to Den meetings, there is also a monthly Pack meeting attended by all scouts and parents. Pack meetings are for recognizing Cub achievements earned in their Dens, and include Pack-wide activities like games or sing-alongs. During this time, news is provided about upcoming Pack events and parents can ask questions and offer suggestions.
