Cub Scout Pack 289

Why should my child join Cub Scouts?
• Your child can learn skills about teamwork in sports and music. However, Scouting’s
strength is that it provides a well-rounded program and your child works at their own
pace.
• As a parent, you will enjoy joining your child in fun and constructive activities.
• When you serve as a leader, you are helping youth achieve their full potential.

How can I get more involved?
• Your child’s pack cannot exist without your involvement on some level.
• You will find that the time you spend as an active Scouting parent will be quality time
spent with your child.
• You will create cherished memories that last a lifetime.
• As parents, you have a short time to influence the life of your child. Scouting
coincides with that time, so make the most of it!

What is the difference between a pack and a den?
A pack consists of many individual dens. Dens are formed by rank or grade. Typically,
dens have six to eight youths.

​

What happens at the pack meeting?
FUN! This is where the achievements of Scouts are recognized as they progress
towards rank, where they can show off a little (games, songs, and skits) and
information is distributed to parents and Scouts.

I need more help!
