NEW SCOUT PARENT'S GUIDE

Joining Cub Scouts should be a simple decision, but the amount of information available can make it overwhelming. We've consolidated that information into a single page with links to everything you need to get started. If you have any questions, please use the contact form at the bottom and one of our Committee Members will be happy to help!

THE CUB SCOUT PROGRAM

Cub Scouts is a family and community-centered program and, as such, your child will be a member of a Den, usually consisting of no more than nice Scouts per Den Leader and these Dens collectively make up the Pack.

THE ADVANCEMENT PLAN

Cub Scouts ranks are earned each year through the completion of a series of requirements and electives known as Adventures.

SCOUT LIFE MAGAZINE

Scout Life magazine has been around almost as long as youth have been in Scouting. It is the only magazine especially designed for Scouts and parents can always be confident that the content is wholesome, entertaining, and educational.

NEW SCOUT BASIC NEEDS

Joining Cub Scouts doesn't have to be expensive and cost-prohibitive. We never let need get in the way of youth participation and there are programs available to assist you with Scouting-related expenses if you need them.

FUNDRAISING

You might have seen other Cub Scouts selling Trails End popcorn at your local grocery store or hardware store. These donations provide the pack with funding so we can keep due low and offer Scouts the opportunity to earn commissions that can pay for their entire Scouting experience!
