Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 332 joining boys with Scouting since 1954! 

Welcome

History and Information about Cub Scout Pack 332 (4332)

The motto, and long term goal, of Pack 332 is to start boys “On the Trail to Eagle”.  As the boys progress through the ranks of Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear and Webelos, they are given more responsibility toward making their own decisions about the options they have to attain their ranks.  As the boys graduate from Cub Scouts into Boy Scouts with Troop 332, they will be prepared to step into leadership positions.  Cub Scout Pack 332 (4332) was formed on 11-01-1954 in Blue Springs Missouri.  Making the Pack over 60 years old.  The Pack has a rich history of mentoring boys and involving the family in scouting and a bright future with continued parent involvement.  The Pack recruits officially from Sunny Pointe Elementary  and recentitly from Franklin Smith Elementary School but has and/or welcomes boys from many different schools and communities.  The chartered organization for Pack 332 is the First United Methodist Church of Blue Springs located at 301 SW Woods Chapel Rd. Blue Springs, MO 64015.  The Pack is in the Blue Elk District and the Heart of America Council.  Pack 332 is unique and lucky because it is a feeder pack to its very own Troop. The boys join Troop 332 after graduating from Pack 332. The Pack and Troop meets separately at the First United Methodist Church of Blue Springs every Monday night at 7:00pm.  This is great for parents who have boys both in cub scouts and boy scouts.  New families and boys are always welcome to join the Pack.  For infromation on joining the Pack or just have a question please use the, (Contact Our Pack) tab at the top of this page and a Pack Leader will get back with you as soon as possible. 

Happy Scouting!

What Is Cub Scouting?

If you are a boy in first grade through fifth grade—or you're 7 to 10 years old—then Cub Scouting is for you. It's for your family, too. This is the first and the biggest of the three Scouting programs (Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing) from the Boy Scouts of America.

Cub Scouts Belong to Pack and Den

Every Cub Scout is a member of a Cub Scout pack. A pack is a large group of boys.

The pack is divided into smaller groups called dens. Each den has about six to eight boys. All of the Cub Scouts in a den are about the same age and live in the same neighborhood.

The Cub Scout pack belongs to a church, a school, or some other group of people in your community or neighborhood. This group makes sure your pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do. The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world.

Cub Scouts Do Things and Go Places

Cub Scouting means "doing." You have lots to do as a Cub Scout—crafts, games, sports, songs, stories, and puzzles, to name a few things. Much of the fun happens right in the den and pack. The den usually meets every week, and the pack meets once a month all year long. At den meetings and pack meetings, Cub Scouts do different things for fun and learning.

Cub Scouts also go to events like the annual blue and gold banquet, field contests, and derbies such as the pinewood derby. They go on field trips. They go camping and have other kinds of outdoor adventures. They take part in community events. Cub Scouts do all sorts of exciting stuff! Whatever it is that you enjoy, you'll have a chance to do it in Cub Scouting.

Cub Scouts Earn Awards

While you're having fun, you'll also be earning badges and awards. You'll work on projects with your parents or other adults in your family, and all of you will feel good about the things you accomplish. When you have earned a badge, you and an adult member of your family take part in a ceremony. The badge is given to the adult, and he or she then gives it to you in front of the whole pack. This is a way of saying "thank you" to your family for their help in earning your award.

The most popular awards for Cub Scouts are the advancement awards. Boys do requirements to advance and earn their badges of rank: Tiger Cub, Bobcat, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and the Arrow of Light Award. The Arrow of Light is the highest award in Cub Scouting. Webelos Scouts also earn activity badges.

The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program is popular, too. Cub Scouts get to learn about favorite subjects such as art, math, science, and citizenship. Or they play individual and team sports such as archery, gymnastics, skating, or soccer. You don't need to be a star athlete to play Cub Scout Sports. You're a winner when you do your best.

Cub Scouts can earn many other awards and medals too, sometimes by themselves and sometimes as members of their pack. They can earn or help their pack earn Quality Unit awards, religious emblems, the Emergency Preparedness Award, the Outdoor Activity Award, or the World Conservation Award.

When you earn an award in Cub Scouting, you learn new skills. You also get to use your new skills and your new knowledge in projects and demonstrations. You show what you know. People get to see what you've learned as a Cub Scout.

Cub Scouting Has a Purpose

There is a reason for everything boys do in Cub Scouting. Apart from the fun and excitement, the aim of Cub Scouting is to help boys grow into good citizens who are strong in character and personally fit. This is why we say that Cub Scouting is fun with a purpose.
