Cub Scouts Belong
to Pack and Den |
| Every Cub Scout is a member of a
Cub Scout pack. A pack is a large group of boys.
The pack is divided into smaller
groups called dens. Each den has about six to eight boys. All of
the Cub Scouts in a den are about the same age and live in the
same neighborhood.
The Cub Scout pack belongs to a
church, a school, or some other group of people in your
community or neighborhood. This group makes sure your pack has
good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do.
The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is
part of Scouting around the world.. |

What is Cub Scouting? |
If you are a boy in first grade through
fifth grade—or you're 7 to 10 years old—then Cub Scouting is for
you. It's for your family, too. This is the first and the
biggest of the three Scouting programs (Cub Scouting, Boy
Scouting, and Venturing) from the Boy Scouts of America.
There is a reason for everything boys do in Cub Scouting. Apart
from the fun and excitement, the aim of Cub Scouting is to help
boys grow into good citizens who are strong in character and
personally fit. This is why we say that Cub Scouting is fun with
a purpose. |

Do Things and Go Places |
| Cub Scouting means "doing."
You have lots to do as a Cub Scout—crafts, games, sports,
songs, stories, and puzzles, to name a few things. Much of
the fun happens right in the den and pack. The den usually
meets every week, and the pack meets once a month all year
long. At den meetings and pack meetings, Cub Scouts do
different things for fun and learning.
Cub Scouts also go to events like the
annual blue and gold banquet, field contests, and derbies
such as the pinewood derby. They go on field trips. They go
camping and have other kinds of outdoor adventures. They
take part in community events. Cub Scouts do all sorts of
exciting stuff! Whatever it is that you enjoy, you'll have a
chance to do it in Cub Scouting. |

Earn Awards |
| While you're having fun,
you'll also be earning badges and awards. You'll work on
projects with your parents or other adults in your family,
and all of you will feel good about the things you
accomplish. When you have earned a badge, you and an adult
member of your family take part in a ceremony. The badge is
given to the adult, and he or she then gives it to you in
front of the whole pack. This is a way of saying "thank you"
to your family for their help in earning your award.
The most popular awards for Cub
Scouts are the advancement awards. Boys do requirements to
advance and earn their badges of rank: Tiger Cub, Bobcat,
Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and the Arrow of Light Award. The Arrow
of Light is the highest award in Cub Scouting. Webelos
Scouts also earn activity badges.
The Cub Scout Academics and
Sports program is popular, too. Cub Scouts get to learn
about favorite subjects such as art, math, science, and
citizenship. Or they play individual and team sports such as
archery, gymnastics, skating, or soccer. You don't need to
be a star athlete to play Cub Scout Sports. You're a winner
when you do your best.
Cub Scouts can earn many other
awards and medals too, sometimes by themselves and sometimes
as members of their pack. They can earn or help their pack
earn Quality Unit awards, religious emblems, the Emergency
Preparedness Award, the Outdoor Activity Award, or the World
Conservation Award.
When you earn an award in Cub
Scouting, you learn new skills. You also get to use your new
skills and your new knowledge in projects and
demonstrations. You show what you know. People get to see
what you've learned as a Cub Scout. |
