Welcome to Cub Scouts!

We want to welcome you and your family to Cub Scout Pack 3075. Our Pack is chartered by First Presbyterian Church, and is a member of the Ocoee District of Cherokee Area Council, Boy Scouts of America.

What is Cub Scouting?

There is a reason for everything we do in Cub Scouting. Apart from the fun and excitement, the aim of Cub Scouting is to help youth grow into good citizens who are strong in character and personally fit. Everything we do has a purpose but is designed to be fun and engaging for our scouts regardless of their ability to perform perfectly. The Cub Scout motto is “Do Your Best” and that’s all anyone will ever ask them to do. We teach the scouts character through....

Mission Statement:

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Vision Statement:

The Boy Scouts of America will prepare every eligible youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader who is guided by the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

The Scout Oath

On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people all times; To keep myself physical strong, mentally awake, and morally straight

The Scout Law

A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent

Cub scouts are also asked to listen well to “Akela”, especially when his ears are up. You might ask “who is this ‘Akela’”? Good question! Akela means “good leader.” You, as a parent, are an Akela. In meetings, the adult leaders are Akela. To remind scouts that Akela is always listening, we show the Cub Scout Sign. With the right hand raised high (or with an elbow at a right angle and hand up), put your index and middle fingers spread apart like a V – just like Akela’s wolf ears. When the ears are up, all scouts (and family) should respond by showing the sign, quiet themselves quickly and take a seat if possible.

The founder of all Scouting – Lord Robert Baden-Powell – based Cub Scouting on “The Jungle Book” by Rudyard Kipling. We use words like Akela, Den, Pack, BALOO, and of course “Cub” which all come from that book.

Purposes of Cub Scouting

There are ten specific purposes to Cub Scouting, which gives us guidance on all of our activities and programs. Our leaders and Pack family focus on these as we help our young scouts grow into young adults:
