Methods of Scouting
LIVING THE IDEALS
Cub Scouting’s values are embedded in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Cub Scout motto, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, and salute. These practices help establish and reinforce the program’s values in Scouts and the leaders who guide them.
BELONGING TO A DEN
The den—a group of six to eight children who are in the same grade and are the same gender—is the place where Cub Scouting starts. In the den, Cub Scouts develop new skills and interests, they practice sportsmanship and good citizenship, and they learn to do their best, not just for themselves but for the den as well.
ADVANCEMENT
Recognition is important to everyone. The advancement plan provides fun for the Scouts, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members and their den leader work with them on advancement projects.
FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
No matter who your family is, we welcome all to join and support the cub scouts.
ACTIVITIES
Cub Scouts participate in a huge array of activities, including games, projects, skits, stunts, songs, outdoor activities, trips, and service projects. Besides being fun, these activities offer opportunities for growth, achievement, and family involvement.
SERVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Cub Scouting focuses on the home and neighborhood. It helps Scouts strengthen connections to their local communities, which in turn supports their growth and development.
UNIFORM
Cub Scout uniforms serve multiple purposes. They foster a sense of "team" and "belonging", display their accomplishments in the form of badges earned, and encourage a neat appearance.
