In general the primary purpose of Cub Scouts is to provide opportunities for boys that they might not otherwise be able to experience.  Cub Scouts learn skills, values, and other attributes that will be important for them to know through-out their lives.  However, if these experiences and opportunities aren't fun, they will not be very effective.
Cub Scouting

Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through the fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions.

The Ten Purposes of Cub Scouting Are:

  • Character Development
  • Spiritual Growth
  • Good Citizenship
  • Sportsmanship and Fitness
  • Family Understanding
  • Respectful Relationships
  • Personal Achievement
  • Friendly Service
  • Fun and Adventure
  • Preparation for Boy Scouts
 
Cub Scout Pack 662 meets at Ridgeway Elementary School. Contact one of our Leaders for more information.
