Cub Scouting is a Family Activity

Families are the basis of our society. In the family, children learn about love, values, and social interactions. Family is vital to the future of our communities and our nation. The Boy Scouts of America has a great interest in the strength of the family and therefore Cub Scouting is a family program. It gives families an opportunity to spend quality time together participating in various activities and events. Family involvement is vital to Cub Scouting’s success.

With that said, parents often wonder exactly how they can help. Well, you're in luck! A list has been put together to help get you off to a good start! 
  • Encourage your son to participate in Den Meetings, Pack meetings and other events.
  • Work with your Scout to complete rank advancement requirements as well as other badges and awards. Many requirements can only be done at home or with an adult partner. Try to be available for him when he needs you. 
  • Return information forms and event fees in a timely manner. 
  • Support your Den Leader by helping with meetings and outings however you can.
  • Do your part in Pack fund-raising activities.
  • Speak up and share your ideas and talents to improve the den and Pack.
  • Step up into leadership, if needed.
    • Den Leader or Assistant Den Leader
    • Committee Member 
    • Cubmaster or Assistant Cubmaster
  • Assist in the recruitment of new boys to the Pack. Being a positive advocate for scouting when given the opportunity at other community functions, school meetings, and talks with neighbors, etc.
