The Cub Scouting program has 10 purposes related to the overall mission of the Boy Scouts of America – to build character, learn citizenship, and develop personal fitness: 

In Cub Scouting, boys and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values.

Cub Scouting embraces the values of citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health and fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility.

These values come to boys in all parts of the Cub Scout program - all while they're having a great time with their friends and families.

Most of our current Scouts are also extremely active in both school and extracurricular sports. 

This is a perfect opportunity to help teach your son the importance of time management. 

It is very common to see the boys change into sport gear while camping, leave for a few hours and return.  

Just let your Den know what you are planning so that if you miss a meal, enough food will be saved for your return.
