Do you have a boy who is interested in the adventures that Scouting can provide? On Wednesday, Sept. 10th Pack 843 will have a New Scout Sign-Up Night, in the South Fayette Elementary School gymnasium, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. Potential scouts and their parents can get the answers to all their questions, find our more about our program, and register their boys for the new scouting year.
Some basic information about Cub Scouts:
- Cub Scouting begins for boys in First Grade, or who are 7 years old. Members at this level are called Tiger Cubs. They work closely with an adult partner (parent or guardian) to begin their scouting trail.
- Members in grades 2 and 3 are called Cub Scouts, and work on Wolf rank (grade 2) or Bear rank (grade 3).
- Members in grades 4 and 5 are called Webelos Scouts, and work on the Webelos rank and the Arrow of Light rank.
- Webelos Scouts usually graduate into Boy Scouting in about February of grade 5.
- The overall Cub Scouting program is family-centered, adult-run, and offers the boys an introduction to scouting.
- Adult leaders can be male or female, over age 21. The leader of the pack is the Cubmaster, and each den is led by an adult Den Leader.
