In Cub Scouting you'll have lots of fun, adventure, and activities with your Den and Pack. But there's more to it than that. Cub Scouting is more than something to do. It's all about the boy you are and the person you will become.

Cub Scouts are divided into Cub Dens of like age Scouts.  Dens come together to make up a Pack.  Our Pack meets at Lake Forest Elementary School and is sponsored by "The Parents of Pack 629".  We have great opportunities of fun and growth for both Scouts and Parents alike.

What Is Cub Scouting?
Cub Scouts meet with their Den twice a month and hold a Pack meeting once a month.  In these groups they play games, go on adventures and do exciting learning activities.  All of this fits into the concept of learning while having fun.

What are the ages of Cub Scouts?
Tiger Cubs - First Grade or Age 6
Wolf Cubs - Second Grade or Age 7
Bear Cubs - Third Grade or Age 8
Webelos 1 and 2 - Fourth Grade or Age 9 and 10

Awards and Advancement
While you're having fun, you'll also be earning badges and awards. You'll work on projects with other Scouts, your parents or other adult leaders and you will feel good about the things you accomplish. When you have earned a badge, you take part in an awards ceremony. The badge is given to you in front of the whole pack.

The most popular awards for Cub Scouts are the advancement awards. Boys do requirements to advance and earn their badges of rank: Bobcat, Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and the Arrow of Light Award. The Arrow of Light is the highest award in Cub Scouting. Webelos Scouts also earn activity badges.

The Cub Scout Academics and Sports beltloop program is popular, too. Cub Scouts get to learn about favorite subjects such as art, math, science, and citizenship. Or they play individual and team sports such as archery, gymnastics, skating, or soccer. You don't need to be a star athlete to play Cub Scout Sports. You're a winner when you do your best.

Cub Scouts can earn many other awards and medals too, sometimes by themselves and sometimes as members of their pack. They can earn or help their pack earn Quality Unit awards, religious emblems, the Emergency Preparedness Award, the Outdoor Activity Award, or the World Conservation Award.

When you earn an award in Cub Scouting, you learn new skills. You also get to use your new skills and your new knowledge in projects and demonstrations. You show what you know. People get to see what you've learned as a Cub Scout.
