Leaders and Parents from Cub Scout Pack 408 will be at Walnut Cove Elementary to talk to families interested in Cub Scouting. We are available to answer questions, share information about our program get you signed up.
What is Cub Scouting? Scouting is learning by discovery and discovery by doing. It’s fun to do with friends, and family where skills are learned, confidence is built, and stories are born. A Scout who knows the buddy system learns to trust and be trusted. A Scout who hikes and camps learns to appreciate the outdoors and take care of it. A Scout who is part of a den and a pack has a genuine sense of belonging.
Who Can Join? If you are a boy or girl who is entering Kindergarten through fifth grades- or you’re 5-10 years old- then Cub Scouting is just for you- and it’s for your family, too!
