safety, responsibility, and unselfish service to one’s community.

Optional Scouting Outings – Pay-As-You-GoThird parties offer scouting events coordinated by the Pack as optional “enrichment” outings for those that want to pay the additional event fee. The Pack does not profit from these events and they fall outside the core program of monthly pack events and den meetings which are funded through member registration and annual fundraising. 2008-09 Optional Scouting Enrichment Outings (at publication):- Army Scout Day at Westpoint - Lime Rock Scout Day (Day Trip)- Anchor Watch & Planetarium at Mystic Seaport- Boston Museum of Science Camp-in- BSA Day Camp and BSA Resident or Webelo Camp.

THE CUB SCOUT PROGRAMBoys within the Pack are grouped into small Dens of 6-8 boys based on their grade in school, or rank. The Cub Scout program is then delivered through age-appropriate activities in the rank handbooks. BSA has almost 100 years invested studying boys and developing the programs.

TIGER: 1st grade boys are with a parent partner. Each Tiger Cub family team is a part of their den and work together on den activities, family activities and “Go See Its”- field trip activities.

WOLF: 2nd grade boys work on 12 Achievements to earn the Wolf rank badge, and then may work on electives in different interest areas. Most requirements are home-based.

BEAR: 3rd grade boys complete 12 of 24 Achievements before working on Electives. Most requirements are home-based with more den activities and achievements. This program offers more “choice” as the boys expand their individual interests.

WEBELOS: The program progresses for 4th & 5th grade boys to an 18-month
