The Mission of Scouting
Mission Statement :
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
Scout Oath:
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law:
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Cub Scout Motto:
DO YOUR BEST!
What do Cub Scouts do?
We hike, we camp, we build cars, we connect with peers and more!
Cub Scouting is about fun. Pinewood Derby, games, exploring, summer camp- the fun never stops in Scouts!
We are "fun with a purpose." Scouts learn about their families, safety, leadership, their community and their world through "Adventures." Scouts experience Rank advancement, service projects, exploring the outdoors, and feeling connected to a movement greater than themselves.
Cub Scouting is a unique family program that grows with your child. It helps young children change from dependents into young leaders. By getting children into the outdoors, nurturing them in a developmentally appropriate way, and providing them with a safe space to explore their community and themselves, they blossom into youth ready to become leaders in their families and their communities.
Unlike many youth programs, where parents sit on the sidelines, Cub Scouting is a an activity you do with your child. Parents are leaders, parents are on the committee, parents come on campouts, and hikes. Quality time with your child is hard to come by these days, get some with us in Scouting!
