ABOUT CUB SCOUTING IN PACK 409

Cub Scouts is a 6-year program (opening to Kindergarteners but accepting children all the way up to 5th grade) that leads into Scouting (BSA). 

Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts programs are open to children of all genders. We accept families of all religions, faiths, and beliefs. Our charter organization is not associated with any particular church or religious organization. 

Families may join or end their journey with Scouting at any time. Your Scout's enrollment rolls year to year unless you decide otherwise.

In 5th grade, Cub Scouts will reach the rank of Webelo (Arrow of Light), after which they can bridge to Scouts BSA (formerly known as Boy Scouts).

The Pack is divided into grade-level groups called Dens. All Den leaders must have a child in that particular grade/Den. 

ABOUT VOLUNTEERING

Cub Scouting is a program for the whole family. Parents are encouraged and sometimes required (at certain age levels) to volunteer along with their child's involvement. 

We need your volunteer assistance to keep the Pack running, and there are countless ways that you as a parent can pitch in. 

Pack planning, business, and activities are organized via our monthly parent planning meetings (PPMs).  

ALL family members and interested families are invited to our PPMs! We love to see you there!
