What is Cub Scouting?
Cub Scouting is fun! No matter what grade you are in, Kindergarten through 5th, it can be a blast. Do you like to learn by doing? This is just the place. You can learn to tie knots, set up a tent, shoot a bow and arrow(archery). Have you ever cooked a meal on a campfire? Sent a secret code to a buddy? Built a bird house? Hiked? Earn rewards for doing these things in Cub Scouts.
What are Packs and Dens?
As a Cub Scout you will be part of your own pack.The pack is divided into smaller groups called dens. All of the Cub Scouts in your den are in the same grade and may even go to the same school.Our Cub Scout pack belongs to WT VFW. This group makes sure our pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do. The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world.
What do Cub Scouts Do?
Have you been to the local Police Station and talked to the Police Officer on duty? Or visited the Fire Station and sat in the driver's seat of the pumper truck? Or visited the local Court House and sat in the Judge's chair? These are some of the places you might go with your den or pack. You might also build a Pinewood Derby car and race it on the track, or build a sail boat or trimaran and race it in the raingutter regatta!
