Cub Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys and their parents. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness.  Service projects, ceremonies, games, and other activities guide boys through the core values and give them a sense of personal achievement. Through positive peer group interaction and parental guidance, boys also learn honesty, bravery, and respect.  Family involvement is an essential part of Cub Scouting and parents are encouraged to play an active role in the program. Through interaction between parents, leaders, and friends, boys learn citizenship, compassion, and courage. This family-and community-centered approach to learning means that Cub Scouting is truly time well spent.

How often are meetings?

Cub Scouts usually meet in their Dens two or three times each month, and a Pack meeting is held for all Cub Scouts and their families once a month. Beyond that, it depends on the Den and Pack: a Den may hold a special activity, such as a service project or visit to a local museum in place of one of the weekly meetings or in addition to the weekly meetings. Likewise, the Pack may conduct a special event such as a sleepover, campout, or service activity as an additional event, rather than a substitute for its monthly Pack meeting.

How can I learn more?

The best way to learn about what a Cub Scout really does is to talk with a Cub Scout who is engaged in the program. Alternatively, you can learn more about the Cub Scout program by selecting "Contact Cubmaster" (above) and asking questions, or leave your phone number to receive a call from the Cubmaster.

Yes, uniforms are required. We wear the uniform because it is a means of identifying ourselves openly with the principals to which were are committed: character development, citizenship training, physical and mental fitness.

What is required?

We require a blue scout shirt. Once a scout earns his Webelos badge he has the option of wearing the khaki Boy Scout shirt. On each shirt the Council shoulder patch, pack number (92), and World Crest patch are required. The scout should also have a rank appropriate hat, neckerchief, and slide. A scout belt is required. (Where else would the scout display his scouting adventures?). Dark blue pants such as school uniform pants can be used.

Uniforms are worn at all den meetings and pack meetings, unless a Leader has told you not to wear the uniform. Uniforms are worn on all pack and den  outings. They should also be worn whenever a scout is traveling to and from a scouting event.
