Getting Started

Step 2: 

Purchase a Cub Scout Uniform and Handbook (online or at the Scoutshop ) 

Be sure to get a size large enough to last several years as your Scout grows. 




Step 3:

Read with your Cub Scout the “How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse Guide” pamphlet found in the front of the book. Sign the last page and give to your new Den Leader.

Step 4: 

Review the Annual Pack Events calendar to find out what kind of activities the Cub Scout Pack is doing in the next few months and put them on your calendar so you can participate. Once registered you will be emailed updates on activities or you can always find out what going on via the Pack Calendar on the website.

Step 5:

Scouting is more fun with friends! Any child in grades K-5 can be a Cub Scout at any time, not just during our recruiting period. Talk with other parents and Scouts and have them join your Scout’s Cub Scout Pack now to make Cub Scouting even more fun. Your Scout will be recognized as a “recruiter” by the Pack & earn a special patch if they recruit a friend to join. 

Step 6:

Consider being a Cub Scout leader or Pack Committee member for your Scout’s Cub Scout den. Your Scout’s experience in Cub Scouting depends on your involvement. Details are on the following pages.
