What is Cub Scouting?


Cub Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys and their parents. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness.  Service projects, ceremonies, games, and other activities guide boys through the core values and give them a sense of personal achievement. Through positive peer group interaction and parental guidance, boys also learn honesty, bravery, and respect.  Family involvement is an essential part of Cub Scouting and parents are encouraged to play an active role in the program. Through interaction between parents, leaders, and friends, boys learn citizenship, compassion, and courage. This family-and community-centered approach to learning means that Cub Scouting is truly time well spent.

        Other costs include uniforms and some activity fees including those for the Day Camp and Resident Camps. Youth members participate in one fund-raising activity (popcorn), which helps to cover Den supplies, equipment, and other activities.

Where can I buy uniforms, pack and den number patches? 
You may purchase the needed uniforms and patches at the Bay Lakes Scout Shops, there are two locations for your convenience. More information about the stores including hours and directions can be found at their web site athttp://www.baylakesbsa.org/scoutshops/index.htm


    Bay-Lakes Scout Shop
    2555 Northern Road
    Appleton, WI 54914
    Phone: (920) 831-9504



    Bay-Lakes North
    1230 E. Main Street
    Green Bay, WI 54302
    Phone: (920) 438-3999
     

Check Hours of Operation before you leave. 

         If you can't make it to the store, and are comfortable specifying your son's shirt size (S/M/L), they will also take phone orders and ship via UPS. Alternatively, you can order everything online from the BSA retail store at ScoutStuff.Org. We do recommend that you purchase your uniform large enough to allow your son to grow. They will be wearing the same uniform through their first year in Webelos and the costs and difficulty in transfering patches become tedious.

How can I save money on the cost of uniforms?
There may be opportunities with older or former scouts or through e-bay. While you can check these, we do recommend that you purchase your items from the Scout Shop, as all profits benefit the Bay Lakes Council scouting program.
How often are the meetings? 
Cub Scouts usually meet in their Dens once or twice each month, and a Pack meeting is held for all Cub Scouts and their families once a month. Beyond that, it depends on the Den and Pack: a Den may hold a special activity, such as a service project or visit to a local museum in place of one of the weekly meetings or in addition to the weekly meetings. Likewise, the Pack may conduct a special event such as a rocket launch, campout, or service activity as an additional event, rather than a substitute for its monthly Pack meeting. 

How can I learn more?
         The best way to learn about what a Cub Scout really does is to talk with a Cub Scout who is engaged in the program. Alternatively, you can learn more about the Cub Scout program by contacting the Cubmaster by clicking on the tab at the top of the screen "Contact Our Pack."  Please remember to leave your phone number so the Cubmaster is able to call you back.
