THE CUB SCOUT PROGRAM
Cub Scouts in a truly unique program.
Our focus is on life skills, leadership skills, and outdoor skills.
It is not unusual to see a 5th grade Cub running a game for the Pack, or a Kindergartener on stage leading the whole Pack in the Pledge of Allegiance.
We teach skills such as first aid, emergency preparedness, camping, and geocaching.
Our yearly activities include rocket day, Pinewood Derby, and our STEM event.
Today the program also includes awareness training for personal safety both on the internet and in the real world.
It is one of the few programs that integrates kids from all elementary grades.
Unlike most sports programs that are limited to 1-2 grades working together, in Cub Scouts younger kids, play and learn alongside 4th & 5th graders. This
Cub Scouts instills the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law to enable them to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime.
​
The Cub Scout program is for girls and boys from Kindergarten to 5th Grade.
