Scouting is a unique and rewarding activity for scouts and their families as parents regular involvement is vital to the success of the program and the enjoyment of the boys involved. Parents don't just 'drop off' scouts at our meetings, they are involved not only in the weekly activities but aid in the leadership, planning, and execution of large and small events throughout the year.

Overview for New Families

For new scout families, there are always a lot of questions about how this 'scouting thing' works. Most people think of scouts and they think of hiking and camping, but that's just a small part of what scouting is all about. The cub scout promise "Do Your Best" most accurately summarizes the essence of what we do- work with the boys so that they put forth their very best no matter what they are doing.

Some of the activities the scouts are involved in, from first grade ("Tiger" Den) to fifth grade ("Webelos"):

• Recycling/Conservation
• Good eating and hygiene habits
• Exercise and physical fitness
• Responsibilities to family and community
• Service, doing 'good deeds'

What Can You Do to Get Involved?

We would love to have your son be part of our Pack? Please contact us if you have any questions or come on by St. Joseph's Church in Middletown on most Tuesday nights from 7-8pm (check our calendar to be sure we'll be there).

We ask the scout families to get involved as well- it takes a lot of behind the scenes work to provide a quality program for our Cub Scouts. From organizing events to assisting our other leaders, it really takes everyone to keep things running smoothly!
