As a Cub Scout, you will be part of the pack which is divided into smaller groups called dens. Each den has about six to ten boys and girls. All of the Cub Scouts in your den are in the same grade and may even go to the same school.

The Cub Scout pack belongs to a church, a school, or some other group of people in your community or neighborhood. This group makes sure your pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do.  The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world.

Have you ever talked to the policemen on duty? Or been part of a parade? How about visited the local TV station and sat in the news anchor's chair? These are some of the activities Pack 43 did just in the past few months.

We also built Pinewood Derby cars and raced them. You may build a sailboat or trimaran and race it in the Rain Gutter Regatta, or build a "spaceship" and race it to the stars in the Pack Water Rocket derby.  You will help your pack family keep the coast clean in Phillippe Park, and help others around our community who need assistance.  Most importantly, as a Scout, you will learn, grow, and have fun doing it.

Each time you complete an accomplishment or learn a new skill, you will be rewarded. Sometimes the reward is a bead or a patch; sometimes it's a "belt-loop" and/or a pin; and sometimes it is a smile on your parents' faces.  We love to see you grow and learn, and if you "Do Your Best" one day you could earn the Arrow of Light, the highest award a Cub Scout could earn.  The badges are focused on four main categories: Academics, Physical Fitness, Technology, and Community Service.   .
