WHAT DOES A CUB SCOUT DO?

Your son or daughter can learn to tie knots, set up a tent, or shoot a bow and arrow (archery). Has your child ever cooked a meal on a campfire? Senta secret code to a buddy? Built a birdhouse? Played ultimate Frisbee or hiked? Cub Scouting is fun and no matter what grade they are in, kindergarten through fifth, it is a blast. Do they like to learn by doing? Then Scouting is just the place! 

GIRLS CAN NOW JOIN IN ON THE EXCITEMENT OF CUB SCOUTS!

We recognize that families today are busier than ever and with less free time, want convenience. By creating a scouting program that offers programs for both boys and girls, families will be able to participate in Scouting activities as a family. Family Scout Packs will offer single gender dens that will allow boys and girls to learn and grow at the pace that is unique to their development
