How Cub Scouting Works

Scouting is Family Oriented

  • Activities are intended for the whole family, and all are welcome to participate.

  • You work with your Scout on their various award requirements, both at home and during meetings.

  • Many skills they will learn are family oriented.

  • A parent or guardian is required to attend all events with their Scout. This includes our monthly meetings and various outings and special events.

Your Scout is a member of a Cub Scout Pack

  • The “pack” consists of all the dens and other leaders.

  • The pack meets once a month – all Cub Scout families are invited and encouraged to attend.

  • The Cubmaster and Assistant Cubmasters lead the monthly pack meeting.

  • Pack meetings have games, skits, songs, special guests, ceremonies and presentations of awards that the Scouts have earned recently.

  • A parent or guardian for each Scout is expected to attend each Pack meeting

Your Scout is a member of a Cub Scout Den

  • Dens are organized by grade level.

  • Each Den generally meets once per month.

  • The Den is led by a Den Leader (parent volunteer) and Assistant Den Leader (parent volunteer).

  • During Den Meeting, Scouts will work on advancement requirements for their next rank.

  • Den meetings also have games, crafts, songs, ceremonies, and lots of fun.

  • A parent or guardian for each Scout is expected to attend each Den meeting.

The pack is run by a Pack Committee (group of parent volunteers).

  • The committee is made up of a Cubmaster, Asst. Cubmaster, Committee Chair, Treasurer, Den Leaders, Event Chairs and many other positions.

  • The committee generally meets once a month. All leaders and interested parents are encouraged to attend.

  • The committee plans events, organizes volunteers and sets the agenda for the coming year.
