Cub Scouting
Cub Scouting is fun for the whole family. In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It’s fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life.
Aims and Methods
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
There are four aims of Scouting: citizenship, character, personal fitness, and leadership.
The methods of Cub Scouting are: living the ideals, belonging to a den, advancement, family involvement, activities, serving the community, and the uniform.
Benefits
Scouting works!
Over the past several years Scouting has partnered with colleges, universities, and foundations to study the impact of the program.
Costs
The cost of Scouting is a true investment in your child’s education and future. Annual costs associated with Scouting are less than most other youth programs.
In Pack 153, scouts participate in an annual fundraiser. For many scouts, the fundraiser pays for the entire year of scouting, and parents have no out of pocket cost.
