Cub Scouts
If you could give your son a great gift, what would it be? It wouldn’t be money or anything money can buy. Whether you are rich or poor, a great gift is within your power because that gift is helping a boy become a person with a good feeling about himself and a genuine concern for others. Cub Scouting can help you provide this gift.
Your Son, Cub Scouting and You
As a parent or guardian, you want your son to grow up to be self-reliant and dependable — a person of worth, a caring individual. Scouting has these goals in mind for him. Since 1910 we’ve been weaving lifetime values into fun and providing educational activities designed to help parents teach their sons how to make good decisions throughout their lives and give them confidence as they become adult leaders of tomorrow.
In a society where your son is often taught winning is everything, Cub Scouting teaches him to do his best and be helpful to others as expressed in the Cub Scout Promise, Motto, and Law of the Pack.
The Cub Scout Den will involve your son in a group of boys his own age where he can earn status and recognition. There he will also gain a sense of personal achievement from the new skills he learns.
The Purposes of Cub Scouting
Cub Scouting is a year-round, family-oriented part of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) program designed for boys who are in first through fifth grades (or who are 7, 8, 9, and 10 years old). Parents, leaders and organizations work together to achieve the ten purposes of Cub Scouting:
| 1. Character Development | 6. Respectful Relationships |
| 2. Spiritual Growth | 7. Personal Achievement |
| 3. Good Citizenship | 8. Friendly Service |
| 4. Sportsmanship and Fitness | 9. Fun and Adventure |
| 5. Family Understanding | 10. Preparation for Boy Scouts |
