The Basics of Cub Scouting

Why Join Cub Scouts?

When you sign your child up for Cub Scouts, they’ll benefit from these three key character-building attributes while having a great time and meeting new friends:

1. Goal Orientation
2. Leadership
3. Preparedness
4. Fellowship

Mission of Cub Scouting

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law, and this begins in Cub Scouts.

There are four aims of Scouting: citizenship, character, personal fitness, and leadership. 

Age-Based Activities and Challenges

In Cub Scouting, kids go through different age-based ranks (Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos). Each rank challenges youth to complete milestones tailored to their specific age group, completing activities with other kids their age, experiencing a new set of challenges each year. They also have opportunities to have fun alongside older and younger Scouts. This happens in packs and dens.

Our Scouts have fun, make friends and experience adventures while building character, improving physical fitness, and developing a spirit of community service.

Pack 90's Program is a Family Program which means:

•Cub Scouts is a volunteer-led, family experience.

•Consider serving as a Den Leader and help coordinate regular Den meetings.

•All family members are invited to participate.

Outdoor Activities:

•You can’t spell “Scouting” without “outing”!

•Cub Scouting is more than meetings!

•Typical monthly activities can include: Campouts and hikes, Field trips, Family activities, and Community Service

Meetings:

Cub Scouts have two types of meetings: Pack (all scouts) & Den (scouts in a specific based on grade) Meetings.

Annual Fee Summary:

• $130 for New Scouts (1st - 5th)

• $145 for Kindergarteners includes Lion Book

• Returning Scout Fee is $110.

The Registration Fees cover: Pack Meetings. Most Den Meeting costs (except for the occasional special event). Pinewood Derby Kits. All patches and awards that the Pack will present to your scout.

Uniform Costs: A Cub Scout Shirt from CSA Store is $60, however we have a supply of slightly used shirts and they are $25 and then you can trade up to another size for free when your scout outgrows them.

Additional Fees throughout the year if you choose to attend these optional events include: Camp-outs range between $10-15/person; Sleepovers $55-85/person; Blue & Gold Banquet $10-5/person; and occasionally other special events like Hockey or Baseball Nights. If you choose to buy a Handbook for your Scout’s Rank it will be $25, also optional.

We encourage scouts & families to “earn their way” by participating in annual fundraising efforts; popcorn/peanut sales in the Fall. This fundraiser helps offset the additional costs of approximately $150 per scout that are not covered by the registration fees.

All of your scouting costs can be covered if your scout sells enough popcorn during our Fall Fundraiser. This is not required but appreciated.
