Guide to Cub Scouting in Pack 10

Cub Scouts do fun things with other kids!  They get to wear a cool uniform, go places and see things.  They play all kinds of sports and build things, like race cars and bird houses. Want to learn a secret code? Want to learn about wild animals? Go Cub Scouting!

Cub Scouting teaches attitudes and habits that make a boy a better member of his family and community.

Weekly Cub Scout and Webelos Scout den meetings are led by a den leader (an adult)  Monthly, all the Cub Scouts and their families meet as a group called a pack under the direction of a Cubmaster.  Cub Scouting can relate to a variety of family traditions. 

Cub Scouting is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age).   Boys are divided into DENS by age group.

Tiger Cub dens are for boys and their adult partners.  Tiger Cubs is a family- and home-centered part of the BSA program that encourages ethical decision-making skills for first-grade (or 7-year-old) boys.   These boys participate in activities with an adult partner, usually a parent. Tiger Cubs emphasizes shared leadership, learning about the community, and family understanding.

Cub Scouting is a family- and home-centered part of the BSA program that helps develop ethical decision-making skills for boys in the second and third grades (or who are 8 and 9 years old). Activities emphasize character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness.

Webelos Scouting is a family- and home-centered part of the BSA program that develops ethical decision-making skills for fourth- and fifth-grade (or 10-year-old) boys. Webelos Scouts participate in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts.

Our DENS usually meet once a week on Friday afternoons from 6 to 7:30 PM in the ASM lower school from September to May.  During the summer months, we gather once a month for various summertime activities.  

Once a month, the DENS gather together to form a PACK and have a gathering for parents, siblings and Cub Scouts to receive awards and participate in special events.  These events are usually held in the Lower School Cafeteria at 6:30 PM on Friday or Saturday evenings.

The Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, the Cub Scout motto, and the Tiger Cub motto are ideals that are related to everything a Cub Scout does.  These ideals are not tests to be passed in order to qualify for induction; they are principles that boys learn and incorporate into their everyday lives.
