How Does Cub Scouting Work?

When your child registers as a Scout, they will join a national organization; The Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The BSA is divided into regions, councils, and districts. Our Pack is a part of the Chisholm Trail District, which in turn is a part of the Capitol Area Council. The Chisholm Trail District includes all Packs operating in the Round Rock School District, while the Capitol Area Council serves the needs of Scouting in the Austin area and surrounding communities.

One unique thing about Cub Scouting is that you, as their family, join in on the program as well and you will help along the way. Cub Scouting is NOT a “drop off” activity.  The family is the basis of Cub Scouting. It exists to support your family and help enrich your family time together. Boys and girls have a different handbook at each grade level, with suggested activities that are age-appropriate for their developmental level. As your scout advances through these books by working on activities with you, they will earn badges and other recognition that can be worn on their uniform. Your scout’s success in Cub Scouting depends on you!
