Scouting 101
Cub Scouting is fun! No matter what grade you are in, Kindergarten through 5th, it can be a blast! Do you like to learn by doing? This is the place. You can learn to tie knots, set up a tent, or shoot a bow and arrow (archery). Have you ever cooked a meal on a campfire? Sent a secret code to a buddy? Built a birdhouse? Hiked? Earn rewards for doing these things and much more in Cub Scouts.
Cub Scouts Belong to Packs and Dens
As a Cub Scout, you will be part of our Pack. The Pack is divided into smaller groups called Dens. Each Den has about six to ten boys or girls. All of the Cub Scouts in your Den are in the same grade and some may even go to the same school. Den meetings focus on completing the advancement requirement adventures for each rank badge:
Kindergarteners = Lions
1st Graders = Tigers
2nd Graders = Wolves
3rd Graders = Bears
4th Graders = Webelos (short for We’ll Be Loyal Scouts)
5th Graders = Arrows of Light
Cub Scouts Do Things and Go Places
The Cub Scout program is based around activities and events that are designed to teach skills and develop character. Each year we provide many opportunities for boys and girls to engage in different types of activities and events. Below are some of the events we do:
Camping & Hiking
Community Service Projects
Summer Camps
Pinewood Derby & Space Derby
Fishing & Astronomy
Local Sporting Events (.i.e Scouts Night at Lake Elsinore)
Meetings with Local Police and Fire Departments
Seasonal Parties: Blue & Gold, Easter, Halloween, Christmas, etc
Rank Bridging Ceremony
Cub Scouts Earn Awards
Each time you complete an accomplishment or learn a new skill, you will be rewarded. Sometimes the reward is a loop for your belt, a pin, or a patch. Sometimes it is a smile on your parents’ faces to see you grow and learn.
