Are Cub Scouts the same as Boy Scouts?

Cub Scouting is a program of the Boy Scouts of America—so in that sense, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are both members of the same organization. However, they are entirely different programs: Cub Scouting is a family-oriented program designed specifically to address the needs of younger boys.

How often do Pack 130 Cub Scouts meet?

Our Cub Scouts and their adult partner meet in their dens once each week, and a pack meeting is held for all Cub Scouts and their entire families once a month. Beyond that, it depends on the den and pack: a den may hold a special activity, such as a service project or visit to a local museum in place of one of the weekly meetings or in addition to the weekly meetings. Likewise, our pack conducts special event such as a blue and gold banquet and the pinewood derby as a substitute for our monthly pack meeting, while outside events and trips are  in addition to the pack meeting.   Pack meeting are also where all awards (except instant recognition beads) are awarded.

May parents attend den meetings?

Our Cub Scout den meetings are intended to be an activity for the individual boys and their adult partner. While they are not a family activity, the presence of a parent or adult partners strongly encouraged. Parental involvement is not forbidden and all meetings are open to your participation.  Parental involvement leads to more success for the boys.  Siblings can be a distraction.  We do not forbid sibling attendance, but siblings need to not become a distraction to the program
