Join the Cub Scout Trail

Scouting is FUN! We even have our own handshake!

J-Man's been in Cub Scouts since he was a first grader. As a Tiger Cub, you start small. Crafts. Games. Helping with community service projects organized by older scouts. Fewer achievements are required to complete the Tiger Trail. The older your scout gets, the more achievements he'll be required to complete.

Completing achievements & earning new patches is pretty easy too. Lots of everyday activities you do with your child can earn them new patches. Riding a bike with the proper safety gear. Helping in the kitchen. Playing an organized sport (like baseball, football, tennis or golf). Opening doors for someone at the grocery store. Playing games with the family. Nothing overly complicated. The only requirement is he does his best. You, the parent, sign off on it in their handbook and turn it into the Den Leader. The Den Leader orders the patch from the Cub Master and it's presented during the next monthly pack meeting for everyone to witness and celebrate.

Simple.

Parental involvement is vital with cub scouts. Den meetings, Day camping trips. Workshops. Field trips. Pack Meetings. Parental participation is a KEY factor in all successful scouting experiences. Many times there's an opportunity for both parents, siblings, AND scout to learn a new skill. Total fun for the whole family!
Now J-Man is a third grader and a Bear Cub. He's having more fun than ever! Hubbster is his Den Leader AND Pack Cub Master so we are very involved in the scouting adventure.

As a matter of fact, we just got back from the Great Alaskan Gold Rush earlier today. The boys learned how to safely cut wood and properly start a fire. They also experienced Archery and BB gun safety. The boys even learned about first aid. From Tiger to Wolf to Bear, a great time was had by all!...even us grown ups! ;)
