We've all been there.
You find a program that you think your child will love that teaches values you want to instill. You see all the fun activities - outdoor skill, teamwork, service projects, leadership, friendship, adventure. You click to learn more. Then you are bombarded with the full program. Den. Pack. Advancements. Rank. Adventure Requirements. Chartered Organization.
You begin to get overwhelmed but you submit for more information. Then more information gets sent your way. National Dues. Council Dues. Pack Dues. Pack Events. Den Events. Lions. Tigers. Bears. Oh my!
Don't worry. We got you!
The last thing we want is for you to get too overwhelmed and miss out on the program because too much information is being thrown at you. We truly believe in the program and the benefits of scouting for the entire family.
Click through the below resources. Hopefully this helps you understand the program a little bit more. And don't worry if you still don't get it! Sometimes it won't click until you start the program. Sometimes it might take a full scouting year before you fully understand. But if you give us a chance, we know you will see the benefits reflected in your child as they start to participate. And that, to us, is worth it.
Cub Scouting is a fun way to spend time with your child and the whole family. The fun has a purpose; that is, to help reinforce the positive values you want your child to develop —character, leadership, personal fitness, and citizenship - so the are able to make moral and ethical choices over their lifetime (the official mission of Scouting America). These values are presented in a fun and engaging method along with outdoors experiences, learning about personal safety, and discovering your family traditions.
