New to Scouting? Here is some basic information:
Cub Scouting is for boys from 1st through 5th Grades. You can join our Pack or transfer from another Pack at any time during the year provided a space is available in the age appropriate den. Cub Scouting encourages each boy to strive for his personal best, a lesson that will help him achieve success throughout his life. Cub Scout activities encourage character development, physical coordination, family unity, and enthusiasm for learning. Most Cub Scout activities are centered around a Den which is comprised of 5-10 boys in the same grade level.
Tiger Cub Program – This program is for 1st Grade boys and their adult partner. The adult partner is someone (usually a parent) who is at least 18 years of age, cares about the boy, and is strongly committed to his well-being.

It is filled with fun activities on the way to earning the Tiger badge.

Webelos Scouts are introduced to traditional Boy Scout activities such as overnight camping, and boys finishing their 5th grade year may “cross over” to membership in a Boy Scout troop.
A boy can visit a Pack meeting and see what Cub Scouting is all about, before he decides to join. Pack meeting times and places are listed on the home page of this website.
