In Cub Scouting, boys, girls and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values. Cub Scouting embraces the values of citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health and fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect and responsibility. These values come to children in all parts of the Cub Scout program – all while they’re having a great time with their friends and families.

Starting as early as kindergarten, kids participate in den meetings with six to eight of their peers, and pack meetings with all the cub scouts. The cub scout program teaches kids how to tie knots, set up a tent, cook a meal, strengthen their bodies through exercise, take care of the environment, and more.
