Cub Scouting offers fun and challenging activities that promote citizenship, character development, and physical fitness. Service projects, ceremonies, games, sports, crafts, songs, skits, field trips, and other activities help children build these core values and give them a sense of personal achievement. Through positive peer group interaction and parental guidance, children learn honesty, bravery, and respect.

Cub Scouts usually meet in their Dens once a week, three times each month during the school year. A Pack meeting is held for all Cub Scouts and their families once a month. Dens 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 pinewood derby, campout, or service activity as an additional event, rather than a substitute for its monthly Pack meeting.
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 Us on the left sidebar and asking questions, or leave your phone number to receive a call from someone on the pack committee.
