Boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grade may join Cub Scouts. A Cub Scout Pack is made up of Dens, or smaller groups of Scouts all of the same age and/or grade level. The Dens are identified by rank:
Although many Scouts start as Lions, they can join at any time. Dens meet 3-4 times per month as a group, to work on projects toward their rank, to prepare something for the Pack meeting, or to work toward earning elective awards. Check out Our Dens for more information on our dens and ranks.
The Registration process for Cub Scouts takes place completely online. Click here to complete the youth application process online.
The cost of registration is $155 for first time scouts which includes the $130 annual registration fee and a one time $25 fee. Pack Dues are between $30 per month. Monthly Pack Dues can be lowered based on each scout’s participation in the council sponsored popcorn fundraising event. The Pack Dues help the pack pay for awards and supplies.
Cub Scouts meet each week. Roughly once per month, all the Dens meet together as a Pack. The Cubmaster leads the Pack meeting, which has been planned and organized with the help of the Pack Committee. The Pack Committee consists of all the Den Leaders, plus other adults who help run things "behind the scenes" for the Pack. The Pack also organizes activities outside of Den and Pack meetings, usually one every month. The entire family is invited to every meeting and outing.
Scouts "graduate" to the next rank level in May. They have a rank badge that they work to achieve that is specific to each rank.
