What Do Cub Scouts Do?

At the heart of Scouting are hands-on, interactive activities.  In Cub Scouts, there are opportunities to spend time as a family and to do things that help build upon the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Den Meetings and Pack Meetings

In Den meetings and Pack meetings, Cub Scouts make new friends, play purposeful games, and learn new skills.  Dens usually meet two times a month, with one sometimes being an outing. All the Dens in the pack come together once a month for a Pack meeting.

Rank Advancement

Cub Scouts earn adventures that are specific to their grade and rank.  A number of adventures must be completed to earn the badge of rank for each grade level. Adventures may be earned in any order.  Completion of adventures is how the aims of character, citizenship, leadership, and personal fitness are developed.

Camping and Outdoor Adventures

Cub Scout families have opportunities to go camping and to participate in outdoor adventures.  Lessons learned in the out-of-doors help to develop a life-long respect for the environment.

Special Pack Events

Packs can put together special events and activities such as Banquets, Rain Gutter Regattas, Pinewood Derbies, and community service projects.

Other Events

Several Packs may be invited to attend other special events such as a large community service project or Scout Show.  These events are coordinated by a local council or district.
