Cub Scouts is a year-round family-oriented program designed for boys and girls who are in kindergarten through fifth grades.
Parents and the organization work together to achieve the 10 purposes of cub scouting:
- Character Development;
- Spiritual Growth;
- Good Citizenship;
- Sportsmanship and Fitness;
- Family Understanding;
- Respectful Relationships;
- Personal Achievement;
- Friendly Service;
- Fun and Adventure;
- Preparation for Boy Scouts.
We have two meetings a month to achieve these goals - a pack meeting and a den meeting. A den in made up of 6-10 scouts in the same grade. The pack is made up of all the dens from grade K - 5.
Pack meetings are held on Thursdays at the VFW in Aurora. Den meetings are held at a time and site determined by the individual den.
Each month we have activities for the scouts as a den and as a pack. We go hiking, fishing, work on crafts, have picnics, go on field trips and generally have a lot of fun!
We also adventure on 2-3 camp outs each year, participate in community service projects, and hold an annual Pinewood Derby -- where the scouts race homemade gravity-powered cars.
