From Boy Scouts of America<\/p>\n

The Cub Scouting program has 10 purposes related to the overall mission of the Boy Scouts of America \u2013 to build character, learn citizenship, and develop personal fitness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1. Character Development<\/td>\n6. Respectful Relationships<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. Spiritual Growth<\/td>\n7. Personal Achievement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. Good Citizenship<\/td>\n8. Friendly Service<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4. Sportsmanship and Fitness<\/td>\n9. Fun and Adventure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5. Family Understanding<\/td>\n10. Preparation for Boy Scouts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Every Cub Scouting activity should help fulfill one of these purposes. When considering a new activity, ask which purpose or purposes it supports. Not everything in Cub Scouting has to be serious \u2013 far from it! Silly songs, energetic games, and yummy snacks all have their place in the program.<\/p>\n

The Methods of Cub Scouting <\/strong><\/p>\n

To accomplish its purposes and achieve the overall goals of building character, learning citizenship, and developing personal fitness, Cub Scouting uses seven methods:<\/p>\n

1. Living the Ideals
\n<\/strong>Cub Scouting\u2019s values are embedded in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Cub Scout motto, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, and salute. These practices help establish and reinforce the program\u2019s values in boys and the leaders who guide them.<\/p>\n

2. Belonging to a Den
\n<\/strong>The den\u2014a group of six to eight boys who are about the same age\u2014is the place where Cub Scouting starts. In the den, Cub Scouts develop new skills and interests, they practice sportsmanship and good citizenship, and they learn to do their best, not just for themselves but for the den as well.<\/p>\n

3. Using Advancement
\n<\/strong>Recognition is important to boys. The advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members and their den leader work with boys on advancement projects.<\/p>\n

4. Involving Family and Home
\n<\/strong>Whether a Cub Scout lives with two parents or one, a foster family, or other relatives, his family is an important part of Cub Scouting. Parents and adult family members provide leadership and support for Cub Scouting and help ensure that boys have a good experience in the program.<\/p>\n

5. Participating in Activities
\n<\/strong>Cub Scouts participate in a huge array of activities, including games, projects, skits, stunts, songs, outdoor activities, trips and service projects. Besides being fun, these activities offer opportunities for growth, achievement, and family involvement.<\/p>\n

6. Serving Home and Neighborhood
\n<\/strong>Cub Scouting focuses on the home and neighborhood. It helps boys strengthen connections to their local communities, which in turn support the boys\u2019 growth and development.<\/p>\n

7. Wearing the Uniform
\n<\/strong>Cub Scout uniforms serve a dual purpose, demonstrating membership in the group (everyone is dressed alike) and individual achievement (boys wear the badges they\u2019ve earned). Wearing the uniform to meetings and activities also encourages a neat appearance, a sense of belonging, and good behavior.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
