Belonging to a Den
Cub Scouts learn to work nicely with peers our age

Advancement
We grow self-confidence by earning Cub Scout awards

Family Involvement
Cub Scouts is something our whole family does together

Activities
Whether indoor or outdoor, we’re always doing something

Serving the Neighborhood
We work to become better citizens in our communities

Uniforms
We show we are on the same team by wearing our Scout shirts

Cub Scouting was started in 1935 here in America! With a program over 75 years old, we’ve developed some unique phrases:

PACK—A group of Cub Scouts of multiple grades that all meet in the same place at the same time.

CUBMASTER—The adult leader in charge of pack meetings and helping Den Leaders

PACK COMMITTEE—A group of parents and leaders who make decisions for the pack.

DEN—A group of Cub Scouts from the same grade who all meet in the same place at the same time. Each grade has a name:

• LION—Kindergarten
• TIGER—First Grade
• WOLF—Second Grade
• BEAR—Third Grade
• WEBELOS—Fourth Grade
• ARROW OF LIGHT—Fifth Grade

DEN LEADER—The adult or adults who lead den meetings.

BLUE AND GOLD—A pack’s annual awards dinner, so invite the whole family!

SCOUTS BSA—A program for kids aged 11-17 after they graduate from Cub Scouts.

TROOP—A group of Scouts BSA youth

In addition to all of your pack’s activities, Gamehaven Council offers many activities for our members; including free Fall and Winter campouts, cheap Spring and Summer campouts, and more! Learn more by going to our Cub Scout Camping page.

We’re all about encouraging boys and girls to make friends, be helpful to others, try new things. With the help of age-appropriate group learning projects and exciting outdoor activities, we aim to teach children that doing their best can be a fun and rewarding experience—no matter the difficulty.

Scouting thrives to deliver a quality year-round
program for a fraction of the cost of sports and
other extracurricular activities.

We want every family to participate in Cub Scouts. Fees can offset through fundraising (see below) and by applying for a Gamehaven Council Scholarship
