Interested in learning more about Cub Scouts? Come to our JOIN SCOUT NIGHT at 7 pm on September 1 at Brushy Creek Elem!
By investing in Cub Scouts you are providing your Scout with the opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards.
These opportunities not only help them when they are young, but also carry forward into their adult lives, improving their relationships, their work lives, their family lives, and the values by which they live.
As a parent your investment comes in the form of time and resources. Your time helps support your Scout by sharing their adventures and volunteering with the Pack. Your resources go to support the program at both national and local levels, provide materials for Den and Pack events, support camping and other activities, and recognize your Scout's achievements through advancement awards.
