How Cub Scouts Works
Cub Scouts is divided into dens by grade. Each den has its own leader and meets together to work on age-appropriate adventures — activities and skills that earn rank advancement. Once a month or so, all the dens come together for a Pack meeting to celebrate accomplishments, share what they’ve learned, and do something bigger as a group.
The Dens
| Den | Grade |
|---|---|
| Lions | Kindergarten |
| Tigers | 1st grade |
| Wolves | 2nd grade |
| Bears | 3rd grade |
| Webelos | 4th grade |
| Arrow of Light | 5th grade |
After Arrow of Light, Scouts “cross over” to a Scouts BSA Troop in the spring of their 5th-grade year.
Time Commitment
A typical month includes:
- 3 weekly Den Meetings (~1 hour each, Tuesdays at 7:00 PM)
- 1 Pack Meeting in place of a Den Meeting (everyone together)
- 1 outing or special event — not every month, but most
Pack-wide events like camping, the Pinewood Derby, and Blue & Gold are spread through the year. Families can participate in as much or as little as they’re able. We’re a volunteer-run Pack, and showing up is the most important thing — everything else is flexible.
Cost
Cub Scouting costs less than most weekly extracurricular activities. Annual costs include:
- National BSA registration (set yearly by Scouts BSA national)
- Council fee
- Pack dues (cover supplies, awards, special events, and the Pinewood Derby kit)
Some events have additional costs (camping fees, Day Camp, the Blue & Gold Banquet). We work hard to keep Scouting affordable; financial assistance is available — please ask. No Scout is turned away for cost.
The exact amounts change year to year. Reach out for the current dues, or visit a meeting and we’ll walk you through it.
Uniform
Cub Scouts wear a uniform to meetings and Scouting events. The basics:
- Cub Scout shirt (color depends on rank: blue for Lions–Bears, tan for Webelos and Arrow of Light)
- Neckerchief and slide (Pack-specific, provided by us)
- Belt and hat (optional but common)
Uniforms can be purchased from the BSA Scout Shop or online. Used uniforms are common in our Pack — ask about hand-me-downs before buying new.
Religious Affiliation
Cub Scouts is a values-based program that includes a Duty to God in the Scout Oath, but the Pack is open to all faiths and to families of all religious backgrounds. Each family interprets Duty to God in a way that fits their beliefs. Pack meetings and events are not religious services. Our chartered organization is American Legion Post 290, but families do not need to be affiliated with the Legion to join.
