As a parent, you want your child to grow up to be a person of worth: a self-reliant, dependable, and caring individual. Since 1910 cub scouts have been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, developing good citizenship, enhancing physical fitness and building self-esteem and ethical values in youth. Scouting is an excellen
t opportunity to spend time as a family. Some of the events include derby car races, swimming at the madras pool, summer camping, Halloween party, hikes, summer camp, and a variety of activities at the den and pack meetings. We finish up the year with our annual blue and gold celebration. Scouting is a positive influence that gives kids a chance to learn about the outdoors and growing into a productive citizen. Learning the scout oath and law provides a strong foundation your scout can grow on. Our Pack is ran by a series of volunteers. These volunteers are the foundation of the pack and the pack cannot work without them. Imagine a program that can help your child learn, grow and mature while they're having fun. There are activities in which you and them can participate together with the rest of the family and get to know each other even better. This is exactly what Scouting is. Every activity gives you and your child the chance to discover and share together. What does your child learn in Scouting? Well, it is a lot more than crafts, games and outdoor skills. All of the Cub Scout programs in which you and your son will participate are carefully designed to teach your child something they will use throughout their life. Here are just a few of the things your scout will gain through Cub Scouting:
● A feeling of belonging to a positive and fun group of peers and caring adults.
● New social skills that will help them get along with others.
● Develop new mental skills--from reading and writing, to planning and organizing.
● A greater understanding of other people and the world around them.
● A system of “values” that will help them grow and make good and ethical decisions.
● A concern and caring for people, and even opportunities to help others.
● Self-confidence and stronger self-esteem. With all the negative influences in today's society, Scouting provides a positive peer group and a program that is fun and adventurous and helps them to "be prepared" to shape their own future. Cub Scouting is fun! But it is fun with a purpose. Woven through all the fun is an inspired program that really works. Tried and proven methods are used that transfer traditional values, build character, and develop leadership skills--all in the context of fun and family togetherness.
