Cub Scouting means "doing."Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys and girls doing things.
Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the Den and Pack. The most important are the monthly Den meetings and the monthly Pack meetings. Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Scout Law, the Scout Oath, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a child's sense of belonging. |
