Immaculate Conception Pack 210
 | Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family 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. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions. (The others are Boy Scouting and Venturing.) |
The 10 purposes of Cub Scouting are:
1. Character Development 6. Respectful Relationships 2. Spiritual Growth 7. Personal Achievement 3. Good Citizenship 8. Friendly Service 4. Sportsmanship and Fitness 9. Fun and Adventure 5. Family Understanding 10. Preparation for Boy Scouts
Cub Scout Core Values
- Citizenship: Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities.
- Compassion: Being kind and considerate, and showing concern for the well-being of others.
- Cooperation: Being helpful and working together with others toward a common goal
- Courage: Being brave and doing what is right regardless of our fears, the difficulties, or the consequences.
- Faith: Having inner strength and confidence based on our trust in God.
- Health and Fitness: Being personally committed to keeping our minds and bodies clean and fit.
- Honesty: Telling the truth and being worthy of trust.
- Perseverance: Sticking with something and not giving up, even if it is difficult.
- Positive Attitude: Being cheerful and setting our minds to look for and find the best in all situations.
- Resourcefulness: Using human and other resources to their fullest.
- Respect: Showing regard for the worth of something or someone.
- Responsibility: Fulfilling our duty to God, country, other people, and ourselves.
A Healthy Pack: Building a strong and involved Cub Scout Pack is everyone's job. When everyone participates and helps carry the load of planning and implementing our pack's activities, our boy's benefit and our families benefit. Please try to help along the way, even if it is just a small task. Just ask any leader in the pack, "What can I do to help?" Boys can help by recruiting friends and classmates in to Pack 289. Boys who successfully recruit another boy into the pack (becomes a registered member) will receive the "Recruiter" patch, which is worn permanently on the uniform.
