- How does participation in Cub Scouting affect participation other activities?
-
- The Cub Scout program is designed to compliment many other extracurricular activities. Typical time commitment is two Den meetings and one Pack meeting per month. Boys who participate in organized sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, swimming, gymnastics, etc, or academic-based extracurricular activities like music, art, science etc., can be recognized for these activities though Cub Scout belt loops and pins which are worn on their uniform.

Youth members participate in one fund-raising activity (coffee), which helps to cover Den supplies, equipment, and other activities. Depending on the level of funds that we can raise through our annual coffee sales, there may be additional costs for camping trips and cookouts. - Where can I buy uniforms, pack and den number patches?

Baltimore Area Scout Shop
800 Wyman Park Drive
Baltimore, MD 21211
(410) 338-0144
(410) 573-2600 fax If you can't make it to the store, and are comfortable specifying your son's shirt size (S/M/L), you can order everything online from the BSA retail store at ScoutStuff.Org - How often are the meetings?
- Cub Scouts usually meet in their Dens once or twice each month, and a Pack meeting is held for all Cub Scouts and their 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, the Pack may conduct a special event such as a rocket launch, campout, or service activity as an additional event, rather than a substitute for its monthly Pack meeting.
- How can I learn more?
- The best way to learn about what a Cub Scout really does is to talk with a Cub Scout who is engaged in the program. Alternatively, you can learn more about Pack 787's Cub Scout program by selecting "Contact Our Pack" above.
