 PURPOSES OF CUB SCOUTING
Cub Scouting means "doing." Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting - citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Most of these activities happen right in the den and pack. Additional activities include those done at the council level, including Cub Scout Day Camp and Webelos Woods camps and Scout Fair.
The official purposes of Cub Scouting are to:
- Positively influence character development and encourage growth
- Help boys develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship
- Encourage good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body
- Improve understanding within the family
- Strengthen boys' ability to get along with other boys and respect other people
- Foster a sense of personal achievement by helping boys develop new interests and skills
- Show how to be helpful and do one's best
- Provide fun and exciting new things to do
- Prepare boys to become Boy Scouts
The Cub Scout colors are blue and gold. The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness. Together, they symbolize what Cub Scouting is all about.
Akela!
Remember that the Cub Scout follows Akela, and Akela means “good leader”. Everyone is both a follower and a leader in different circumstances. While the adults are the primary Akela in the organization, I know that personally the scouts (and all children) are very capable of teaching and leading at times also.

We offer the only Tiger Den in the Bigfoot district. We meet at either Greenhurst or Ronald Reagan at 7:00-8:00 pm Wednesday nights through out the school year (check the calendar for more specific dates, locations, and activities).
We look forward to seeing you at the meetings!
