Frequently Asked Questions

Who can participate in Cub Scouts? 
Cub Scouts is open to all children, boys and girls, in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Parents should also take an active part in the Pack by helping with meetings and events and serving in Pack leadership roles. 

How does Scouting work? 
There are 6 Dens based on grade. 

  • Kindergarten: Lions

  • 1st Grade: Tigers 

  • 2nd Grade: Wolves 

  • 3rd Grade: Bears 

  • 4th Grade: Webelos

  • 5th Grade: Arrow of Light 

Each Den works on achieving age-appropriate milestones to reach their Rank each year. Activities focus on the 12 character traits of Scouting (i.e. honesty, resourcefulness, health & fitness, perseverance, etc.) with a focus on teamwork and developing outdoor skills. 

What activities do we do? 
Dens typically meet twice a month to work towards their Rank. Requirements for each Rank are outlined in the Scout Handbook and at Scouting.org. Scouts earn belt loops or pins (based on Den) to mark their achievements, which are proudly worn on their uniforms. 

Occasionally, Dens have fun field trips to places of interest to the children, such as a fire or police station, Long Island Science Museum, Manorhaven Beach, and local hiking trails. 

We host optional Pack-wide traditional Scouting events like camping trips, Raingutter Regatta (boat race), the Pinewood Derby (car race). We also march in the Memorial Day parade, do fundraising, and participate in volunteering opportunities. There are also other one-off activities available to the Pack, such as sports games and nature outings.
