Cub Scouting has these outcomes in mind by weaving life-time values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, developing good citizenship, and enhancing personal fitness in youth. The methods of Scouting are on the cutting edge of child development. Here's what happens when a boy becomes a Cub Scout.
Dens meet weekly, working on age-appropriate projects.
It is a place where a boy learns to work with others while he is still being himself. In the comfortable setting of the den, even the shyest boy soon becomes involved belonging to a positive support group. There are not many opportunities like that anymore, and these meetings are highlights that the Cub Scouting program provides for all family members. The responsibility for a boy's advancement in Cub Scouting lies primarily with his family. Some advancement requirements are done at den meetings, but a Cub Scout completes most requirements at home with his family.
