What Do Scouts Do?
What Do Scouts Do?
Some of the best things about Cub Scouting are the activities the youth (and sometimes you) get to do: camping, hiking, racing model cars, going on field trips, or doing projects that help our community and the people who live here. Cub Scouting means "doing." All our activities are designed to have boys and girls doing something and by "doing" they learn some very valuable life lessons.
Do the Parents Have a Role?
Do the Parents Have a Role?
Yes. As a program for the entire family, Cub Scouting can teach your child a wholesome system of values and beliefs while building and strengthening relationships among family members. We provide other mentors to help your scout grow but you are also an important part of their development in scouting. As your Scout grows and matures, your role will change from helping run the program to being a mentor to your scout.
We don't expect a parent to leap right in. We do want you involved! Come join us for rewarding activities and we will train you to become a leader - just like your Scout! We encourage you to go at your own pace.

How do our Scouts Achieve Their Goals?
Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen in the den (with the children in their grade) or with the entire pack (with all the grade levels). Our Scouts always have Go-and-See's and plenty of outdoor and indoor activities to help them achieve goals.
What Supplies and Equipment are Needed?
What Supplies and Equipment are Needed?
At minimum, each boy in Cub Scouting will need a uniform and a handbook. Each year, the handbook changes, as does the cap and neckerchief, but other uniform parts remain the same for at least the first three years. When a boy enters a Webelos den, he may need to obtain a new uniform if the parents in the den opt for the khaki-and-olive uniform.
