What is in it for the kids? The Boy Scouts of America was incorporated in 1910, giving them over 100 years of experience working with kids. The goal is to develop well-rounded kids who mature into well-rounded adults. To that end, the ten purposes of Cub Scouting are:
Character Development
Spiritual Growth
Good Citizenship
Sportsmanship and Fitness
Family Understanding
Respectful Relationships
Personal Achievement
Friendly Service
Fun and Adventure
Preparation for Boy Scouts
We accomplish this through fun games, activities, camping, hiking, arts & crafts, field trips, community service projects, and other ways. What is in it for the parents? Opportunities to see your child grow and interact with other kids their age. Scouting helps you create the capacity for your child's accomplishments. It also gives the child a sense of team work and belonging. Above all, SCOUTING IS FUN! TRIED AND PROVEN METHODS OF BUILDING CHARACTER, TRADITIONAL VALUES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP SKILLS ARE WOVEN THROUGH FUN. If interested in joining the ADVENTURES OF SCOUTING and have a child in Kindergarten through 5th grade, please send us a message!
