Every Cub Scout is a member of a Cub Scout Pack. The Pack is divided into smaller groups called Dens. All of the Cub Scouts in a Den are about the same age or grade level.
Pack 3036 pack is made up of six Dens:
Lion (Kindergarten)
Tiger Cub (First grade)
Wolf Scout (Second grade)
Bear Scout (Third grade)
Webelos I (Fourth grade)
Webelos II (Fifth grade)
Pack 3036 Cub Scouts typically gather about 4 times a month during the school year and once a month during the summer. Meetings are usually about an hour long. Activities can go longer.
Pack Meetings and Activities: The entire pack typically meets twice a month. Once for a big meeting called a Pack Meeting at the Mark Delay gym. Pack Meetings include recognition for Cub Scouts, awards, highlights of den activities, skits, demonstrations, exhibits, fun and games. The Pack also attempts to meet a 2nd time within a month for a Pack Activity. Pack Activities include: hiking, camping, various service projects, food drives, museum and zoo visits and much more.
Den Meetings and Activities: Dens typically meet twice a month to complete achievements for rank and have fun. The Den Meeting is typically in a classroom setting at Mark DeLay. The Den will also try to meet a 2nd time within the month for a Den Activity. The Den Activities can include: "Go-See-It" excursions to places such as fire departments, museums, or radio stations as well as hiking, bowling or arts and crafts.
Since its origin, the Scouting program has been an educational experience concerned with values. In 1910, the first activities for Scouts were designed to build character, physical fitness, practical skills, and service. These elements were part of the original Cub Scout program and continue to be part of Cub Scouting today.
Character development should extend into every aspect of a boy's life. Character development should also extend into every aspect of Cub Scouting. Cub Scout leaders should strive to use Cub Scouting's 12 core values throughout all elements of the program.
1. Citizenship: Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities.
2. Compassion: Being kind and considerate, and showing concern for the well-being of others.
3. Cooperation: Being helpful and working together with others toward a common goal
4. Courage: Being brave and doing what is right regardless of our fears, the difficulties, or the consequences.
5. Faith: Having inner strength and confidence based on our trust in God.
6. Health and Fitness: Being personally committed to keeping our minds and bodies clean and fit.
7. Honesty: Telling the truth and being worthy of trust.
8. Perseverance: Sticking with something and not giving up, even if it is difficult.
9. Positive Attitude: Being cheerful and setting our minds to look for and find the best in all situations.
10. Resourcefulness: Using human and other resources to their fullest.
11. Respect: Showing regard for the worth of something or someone.
12. Responsibility: Fulfilling our duty to God, country, other people, and ourselves.
