A brief overview of the Medway Cub Scout Program

Cub Scouts is an excellent way to introduce your child to the joys of Scouting. 

Some of the things your Scout will learn:

• Teamwork

• Leadership

• Safety

• Responsibility

• Communication skills

Some of the activities you can expect:

• Hiking

• Camping

• Fishing

• Performances (skits, songs)

• Games

• Volunteering

What to expect over the year:

The Scouting year typically starts in September and continues through May. Scouts are distributed into "dens" for their ranks. Usually there will be one or two dens per rank as we try to keep the dens somewhere around 5-7 children. Dens will generally meet every other week.

In addition to den meetings, there are monthly pack meetings for all the Scouts to meet together. At these meetings, Scouts are awarded the achievements they have earned over the previous month. We also play games and do other fun activities at the pack meetings. 

We often to at least two camping trips over the year, generally a fall camping trip and a spring camping trip.

Lastly, we often will hold holiday pack events as well as pack volunteering opportunities throughout the year. It's a lot of fun and be sure to check out our events calendar or the photos on the home page. 

Our Promise

Our promise is that your child will have fun, will be active, will learn, and of course you will stay informed every step of the way.

Sincerely,

The Pack 748 Leadership Team
