Cub Scouting means "doing." Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness.

As a Cub Scout, you belong to a Pack. A Pack made up of a group of families, with boys aged 7-10, or in first through fifth grades. The Pack might meet at your church or school. The Pack is made up of Dens, A Tiger Den (1st graders), Wolf Den (2nd graders), Bear Den (3rd graders), and Webelos Den (4th and 5th graders). Most of the activities and badges Cub Scouts earn are done in their Den and Pack meetings and on Den and Pack outings.

Family is a key component to Cub Scouting. Moms and Dads join their Cubs at meetings, help earn badges at home, and help to organize the leadership of the Pack.

Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.
