Welcome to the Adventure of
Cub Scouting

(It's not just for kids!)

Your Son, Scouting, and You

As a parent, you want your son to grow up to be a person of worth, a self-reliant dependable, and 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, developing good citizenship, and enhancing physical fitness in youth.

These values halp your son make good decisions throughout his lifetime and give him confidence as he becomes an adult leader tomorrow.

With all the negative influences in today's society, scouting provides your son with positive peer group and a program that is fun and adventurous and hleps him to "be prepared" to shape his own future.





The Programs

When your son graduates from Cub Scouting, there is more in store for him. Boy scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Exploring are awaiting him as he grows older.
