Pack 200 offers
a family oriented program for boys in grades 1-5 that combines fun with educational
activities and lifelong values. In Cub Scouting, boys learn ideals like honesty,
bravery, and respect. These values help boys make constructive decisions throughout
their lives and give them the confidence they need to grow and develop.
Pack 200 also welcomes individuals who may have been involved in Scouting in the past or folks who are just interested in volunteering some time. You have the chance to be a positive influence on the youth in your community. If you have questions about the role you could play or for more information about Cub Scouting, please contact us for more information.

Preparation for Boy Scouts
A Little Scout History,
The Cub Scouts as an organization
was founded by Robert Baden-Powell in 1916, ten years after the foundation of
the Boy Scouts, in order to cater for the many younger boys who had not yet reached
the age limit for the Scouts but who wanted to take part in Scouting. During these
first ten years many troops had either allowed younger boys to join or had set
up unofficial Junior or Cadet Scout Troops. These Cadet Troops taught a much simpler
form of Scouting, including just the basic knotting techniques, basic first aid
and tracking. Cub Scouts are this year, 2006, celebrating 90 years of Cubbing,
with activities held all over the world.
Cub
Scouts are organized in Packs, which are usually linked to a Scout group (district),
providing a community with all age sections. Adult leaders of Cub packs take the
names of The Jungle Book 's main characters. The Cubs are taught that the leader
is called Akela. Akela is the Den leader at Den meetings; The Pack Leader at Pack
meetings; the Teacher at school, or the parent at home. Cub Scouts have a distinctive
two-finger salute according to the Jungle theme, in contrast to the three-finger
salute of Boy Scouts.
Like Scout Troops,
Cub Scouts are assigned to small teams within the Pack. Baden-Powell named the
team Six, which refers to the six members in each team. In the United States (U.S.),
these teams are each called a Den, and each Den has all boys in the same school
grade.
Youth Leaders from more senior
Sections of Scouting are actively encouraged to assist as Cub Scout Leaders.
Each Pack has a number of annual events such as the
Pinewood Derby, the Space Derby, Summer Camp, Rocket Launch and the Boy Scout
birthday celebration. The emphasis of Cub Scouting is to have fun and learn at
the same time.
