Parents, you’ll want to be kids again when you share in the fun and activities with your Cub Scouts and Families of Pack 586. We strive to expose and teach Scouts about self-confidence, trying new things, outdoor fun (hikes & camping opportunities), community building, and respect. Special adventure activities involve making and creating, such as the annual Pinewood Derby race, and Raingutter Regatta, and Egg Drop (from a fire truck ladder) Challenges. We strive to bring fun, for Scouts and Parents, to every activity and lesson throughout the Scouting year. There's something for everyone!

CUB SCOUT RANK

The Pack is composed of all Scouts and Parents. Scouts are assigned to Dens (animals) based on School Grade. Pack and Den Leaders are parent volunteers of Scouts in the assigned Rank. Pack 586 has at least one Pack meeting/event and one Den meeting scheduled each month. 

LION DEN (Kindergarten) - Lion Rank is all about introduction to Scouting through games, friendship, and new experiences with adult partners.   

TIGER DEN (1st Grade) - Tigers work on themes of Search, Discover, and Sharing through learning outdoor safety essentials, practicing good nutrition, understanding teamwork, and demonstrating personal safety.

WOLF DEN (2nd Grade) – Wolves complete adventure activities involving collaboration, communication, and problem solving with peers. 

BEAR DEN (3rd Grade) – Bears earn achievements focused on character, citizenship, leadership, and personal safety. 

WEBELOS: WE-BE-LOyal-Scouts (4th Grade) –  Webelos rank is earned by completing activities focused on personal growth, teamwork, responsibility, and community engagement. Preparing Cubs for transition to Scouting and earning special activity pins. The highlight for many Webelos is learning pocketknife safety.

ARROW OF LIGHT (AOL) (5th Grade) - AOL Cubs year is shortened as they have the opportunity to transition to a Scouting America Troop in Feb-March. AOL Cubs achievements will focus on wisdom, courage, self-control, and personal growth. This provides time for assimilation to a new Troop in time for Scout Summer Camp activities.

JOIN PACK 586

We are always looking for new ideas and strive to bring an engaging program for both Scouts and Parents to learn, grow, and have fun!

Cub Scouts is a Family based program and Cub-Parent partnerships are required at all events.

One parent in the household must register with BSA alongside the scout and complete the annual BSA Youth Protection Training as well as CA Mandated Reporter Training (AB506) to ensure we bring a safe and supportive program for all participants.

Please feel free to reach out to our Membership Chair with any questions.
