  4. Sportsmanship and Fitness
  5. Family Understanding
  6. Respectful Relationships
  7. Personal Achievement
  8. Friendly Service
  9. Fun and Adventure
  10. Preparation for Boy Scouts

Cub Scout membership

Cub Scouting members join a Cub Scout pack and are assigned to a den, usually a neighborhood group of six to eight boys.

Tiger Cubs (first-graders), Wolf Cub Scouts (second-graders), Bear Cub Scouts (third-graders), and Webelos Scouts (fourth- and fifth-graders)

Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cubmaster and pack committee. The committee includes parents of boys in the pack and members of the chartered organization. Boys can join at any time of the year and do not have to have completed any prerequisites (except the desire to have fun!)

Cub Scouts in Sudbury

In Sudbury the Packs typically align with each primary school district. For information on how your son can join scouting or how you can become involved with leadership, please select from the school district your child belongs to (even if they do not attend that school). Or a committee member from any pack will gladly assist you with any questions you may have.
