Cub Scout History:
1910: Boy Scouts of America incorporated on February 8. 1912: Boys' Life magazine becomes official publication.
For over 100
years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout
Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth
grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop
academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship
skills that influence their adult lives. In 1930 the Boy Scouts of America launched a home- and neighborhood-centered program for boys 9 to 11 years of age. A key element of the program is an emphasis on caring, nurturing relationships between boys and their parents, adult leaders, and friends. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions.
10 purposes of Cub Scouting:
Character Development, Spiritual Growth, Good Citizenship, Sportsmanship & Fitness, Family Understanding, Respectful Relationship, Personal Achievement, Friendly Service , Fun & Adventure, Preparation for Boy Scouts.
The Cub Scouts of America colors are blue and gold. They have special meaning, which will help boys see beyond the fun of Cub Scouting to its ultimate goals. The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer and happiness.

state, and national communities.

Boy Scout History
Lord Robert Baden-Powell began Scouting in Great Britain in 1910 and was
immediately successful in attracting boys and adult leaders to its adventurous
and fun outdoor program. In addition to teaching boys outdoor skills and
teamwork, boys learned responsibility, character, and the need to do good for
others. Several years later, the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated to
provide a program for community organizations that offers effective character,
citizenship and personnel fitness training for youth. Almost 100 years later,
Scouting is one of the largest youth organizations in the world
Pack 303 Investments- UPDATE...
This year our Pack/Troop registration fee is only $25.00 for each new scout. Returning scout's registration is covered by the pack thru fundraising and dues. All scout Parents are required to sign up as an Adult member. Each Adult member is a $25.00 Charge and must take the Youth Protection training. This certification is good for two years. Tiger Scouts this is manditory.
All scout activities are paid for by the pack for the scouts only. Parents and any other family is always welcome but will need to pay their own way prior to the event. Any scout that commits to an activity that does not show up the day of the event must pay back the pack for their paid admission. The family admissions is lost if you're a no show.
Scouts are asked to pay a $1.00 a week dues to help cover the cost of the everyday pack needs. This will be collected at the start of each meeting by Den Leaders. This is to be handed in by the scout. Advance payment of dues will not be accepted as this task is to teach responsibility and accountability for the scouts.
