| Since
1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through
Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family oriented program designed for
boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8,
9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations
work together to achieve the 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. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The
most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack
meetings. |

To learn more about Cub Scouting, click on Akela the wolf on the left and see What's It All About. You can learn more about Pack 1157 here. Boys
do not have to go to any particular school or live in any particular
area to join Cub Scouts with Pack 1157. The choice of a Cub Scout Pack
is usually a matter of where friends are joining and/or the convenience
of the meeting location. Pack 1157 hosts special Join Cub Scouting Night around September 16th each year, but a boy
who is in the first through fifth grade can join Cub Scouting with Cub
Scout Pack 1157 anytime!

What Do We Do? There are so many fun things available for Cub Scouts, it's hard to list them all. Also, the Cub Scouting program is designed so that Cubs at each Grade Level can do activities suitable for that age. Den activities include crafts, telling jokes and stories, playing games and earning awards. The presentation on the right shows some specific activities that Pack 1157 typically does every year. Advancements One of the great strengths of the Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting programs is the opportunity for personal advancement by doing activities and learning new skills. Each Grade Level Program has an advancement program tailored for that age. The requirements for each Grade Level advancement are spelled out in the Handbook for that Grade Level. Many den leaders work their den meeting programs around either monthly themes and/or for completion of advancement activities in the Handbook.  |
