About Cub Scouts

Why join Cub Scouting? From Welcome New Cub Scout Family.

1. Cub Scouting is a fun way to spend time with your child and the whole family. The fun has a purpose: That is, to help reinforce the positive values you want your child to develop—character, leadership, personal fitness, and citizenship. These values are presented in a fun and engaging method along with experiencing the outdoors, learning about personal safety, and discovering your family traditions. 

2. Cub Scout-age children benefit developmentally from belonging to a small group of peers. Your child will be a part of a den, a small group of Cub Scouts usually in the same grade. Through this sense of belonging, children build self-esteem and learn to get along with others. 

3.  The values we seek to instill are found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Who can join Cub Scouts?

• The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Cub Scouting program is open to boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grade.

• The local schools that we recruit from are Deep Wood, Bluebonnet, Voight, Robertson, and Berkman Elementary.  However, a child does not have to attend these schools to be in our pack.  We have scouts that go to other public schools, as well as some that attend private schools and some that are homeschooled. 

• The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is non-sectarian in its approach to religious training and is open to people of all faiths and of none.

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 at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
