The Scout Oath
"On my honor
I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight."

About Cub Scouting
Cub Scouting is a youth program of the Boy Scouts of America designed for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. It focuses on helping youth grow in confidence, character, and leadership—while having fun along the way.
Cub Scouting is family‑oriented, meaning parents and guardians play an important role alongside their Scouts. Activities are age‑appropriate, hands‑on, and centered around learning by doing.
What Do Cub Scouts Do?
Cub Scouts participate in a wide variety of activities, including:
- Outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, and fishing
- Games, crafts, and hands‑on projects
- Community service and helping others
- Pack events, den meetings, and family activities
Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to be engaging, safe, and fun, while helping Scouts build important life skills.
How Cub Scouting Is Organized
Cub Scouts are grouped into dens based on grade level:
- Lion – Kindergarten
- Tiger – 1st Grade
- Wolf – 2nd Grade
- Bear – 3rd Grade
- Webelos – 4th Grade
- AOL - 5th Grade
Each den works on activities and achievements suited to their age and development. Dens come together regularly as a pack for larger events, celebrations, and outings.
Advancement & Recognition
Cub Scouts earn badges, patches, and awards as they complete activities and achievements throughout the year. Advancement is meant to encourage personal growth, teamwork, and effort—not competition.
Every Scout progresses at their own pace and is recognized for their accomplishments.
Family Involvement
Cub Scouting works best when families are involved. Parents and guardians are encouraged to:
- Attend meetings and events
- Help with activities and outings
- Volunteer in ways that fit their schedule
No previous Scouting experience is required—training and support are provided.
