Girls and Boys in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Scouts 6th grade and older can join a 220 Troop

Den meetings (grade level groups) are the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month during the school year. Pack meetings (everyone in grades K-5) are the 4th Tuesday of each month.

We typically try to have one event per month in the summer. Our summertime meetings are usually at a splash pad, public pool, or park, so the kids can get together and have fun!

The most convenient time to join Scouts is at the beginning of the school year, but we welcome new Scouts all year long! If your child missed out on joining Scouts in kindergarten, first or second grade, it's not too late to join! They will be placed in a group with other Scouts their age.

Scouts are divided into grade-level groups called dens as follows:

• Kindergarten: Lions
• 1st Grade: Tigers
• 2nd Grade: Woves
• 3rd Grade: Bears
• 4th Grade: Webelos
• 5th Grade: Arrow of Light (Notes: 5th graders cross over into a 220 Troop for boys or girls in November)

Cub Scout registration fees cover the cost to register your Scout with the National and Local councils and to pay for the awards that your Scout earns throughout the year. In addition to this, most Scouts choose to attend summer camp at Theodore Naish. See "What is the cost of summer camp?" for more details on those fees.

Our annual dues cover registration with BSA and awards that your Scout will earn during the year. We fundraise throughout the year to help cover the activities that we do at our den and pack meetings, campouts, and other activities. Each Scout family is encouraged to participate in fundraising to the best of their ability, to help provide a better scouting experience for everyone.

Cub Scouts is definitely a family activity! We encourage parents to be involved in their Cub Scout's experience, to be present and helpful at meetings, and to make outings and overnights a family experience.

We typically have 3 campouts per year; a Fall and Spring family campout, and a Winter lock-in. All overnight events are family events. Each Scout should have a parent or guardian attend with them and siblings are always welcome at our pack campouts. There are also age-specific summer camps; please visit our summer camp page for more information.

Lions and Tigers (kindergarten and first grade) are required to have an adult present with them at all events, including den meetings, though parents are welcome at meetings for all age levels. All overnight events do require an adult with their Scout (all ages).

Each Scout should have an age-appropriate uniform.

• Lions wear a blue Lion T-shirt.
• Tigers should have a blue BSA uniform shirt, bottoms, and belt with the rank-appropriate neckerchief and slide.
• Wolves should have a blue BSA uniform shirt, bottoms, and belt with the rank-appropriate neckerchief and slide.
• Bears should have a blue BSA uniform shirt, bottoms, and belt with the rank-appropriate neckerchief and slide.
• Webelos should have a tan BSA uniform shirt, olive bottoms, a belt, a plaid neckerchief, and a Webelos slide.

The Scout store also offers socks and hats, but these aren't required. Each Scout should also have a book for their rank, so they can follow along with activities at meetings, and work on certain requirements at home.

We encourage you to attend a Monday night den meeting or Tuesday Pack meeting to check out the Pack. If you are interested in joining, you will be given an application at the meeting.

Every successful Scouting program needs parent volunteers. Even if you were never part of Scouts as a child, you can help in a number of different areas of the Pack. Training is provided for each position and volunteers are often able to shadow another leader in their role in order to learn from their experience. We understand that volunteering can be intimidating, but we promise that being a part of your Scout's journey by serving in a role within the Pack with enhance the overall experience for both you and your child.

Volunteers can serve in a variety of capacities including:

• Cubmaster (runs the Pack meetings and events)
• Assistant Cubmaster (assists the Cubmaster and fills in as needed)
• Den Leader (runs the den meeting and teaches the Scouts - lessons are provided)
• Assistant Den Leader (assist the Den Leader and fills in as needed)
• Awards Chair (coordinates the purchase of all awards for the Scouts)
• Recruitment Chair (helps with recruitment events and helping new Scouts with applications)
• Family Camp Coordinator (plans and runs family campouts)
• Summer Camp Coordinator (coordinates registration for summer camps)
• Popcorn Colonel (Fundraising Chair)
• Treasurer for the Pack Committee (prepares the treasurer report for each Committee meeting)
• Secretary for the Pack Committee (takes notes at Committee meetings and sends the communication to the Pack)
• Committee Chair (responsible for managing the committee positions and running the committee meetings)

Note: You must be registered as an adult with the Pack, complete Youth Protection Training, and complete position-specific training in order to serve in any of the roles listed above. 

In fifth grade, our Arrow of Light Scouts will crossover into the Troop level. Boys will crossover into the Red Troop and girls will crossover into the Blue Troop.

We do many fun events throughout the year, including an annual welcome carnival, movie and popcorn nights, a Pinewood Derby, Trunk or Treat, community service events, family campouts, a Winter lock-in and much more. We are always open to your ideas which can be presented at the annual planning meeting. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend the annual planning meeting.
