What Does Scouting Offer?
As a parent, your want your son to grow up and be a person of worth, self-reliance, dependability, and be a caring individual. Scouting has these same goals in mind for him.
Since 1910 we've been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, and enhancing the physical fitness of youth.
These values help your son make good decisions throughout his lifetime and give him confidence, as he becomes and adult leader of tomorrow.
In a society where your son is often taught that winning is everything, Cub Scouting teaches him to "do his best" and to be helpful to others as expressed in the Cub Scout Motto and Promise.
A Cub Scout den can provide your son with a group of boys his own age in which he can earn status and recognition. There he will also gain a sense of personal achievement for the new skills he learns.
Do Your Best!
Cub Scouting is a home and neighborhood centered program designed to support family life for boys in first through fifth grades. Each Cub Scout learns to respect his home, country, God, and other people. The program also helps boys this age to:
-
Learn new physical skills through sports, crafts, and games.
-
Learn how to get along with others through group activities.
-
Develop new educational skills such as writing and calculating.
-
Develop personal independence.
