About Scouting

There are 5 levels to Cub Scouting: Tiger (after completing Kindergarten), Wolf (after completing 1st grade), Bear (after completing 2nd grade), Webelos 1 (after completing 3rd grade) and Webelos 2 (after completing 4th grade). You can learn more about each level by clicking on the images of each level on the left.

Boys in each level are placed into dens which consist of approximately 8 boys and 1 or 2 Den Leaders. The boys in the den go on tours, learn new skills and have fun playing games. Dens typically meet weekly (except the week of pack meetings or when school is closed).

Boys graduate from the 2nd year Webelos to join Boy Scouts in a troop and begin another
journey of activities designed for older boys.

In Cub Scouts all the levles join together to be included in a larger "pack". We are Pack 242. We
do monthly Pack events as well as our montly "Pack Meeting" where the boys get together at the Moose Lodge.

Colors

The Cub Scouting 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.
