When properly carried out, Cub Scouting is a fun, home-centered activity program. Parental
involvement and help is a key to success in this
program (see Scouting Handbook, 4).

Additional advice for New Cub Scout Parents?

  • Read your son's manual. Really, it helps!
  • Volunteer. It's fun and your son will love having you there.
  • Take the Youth Protection training online. It's recommended for leaders and parents, it's free, and it only takes 20 minutes.
  • Moms - dress for pack nights knowing you may be "pinned". Layers or cardigans make it easier for your son to get it attached.
  • Ask questions.
  • Enjoy these years, they really go by too quickly!
