● Complete and turn in the Cub Scout application, Adult application, Family Talent Survey and registration fees to the Committee Chair. Email ocbsapack4321@gmail.com for more information.

​

● Carefully review our website so you know what Cub Scouting is all about and how your scout can get the most out of it.

 

● Purchase a Cub Scout Handbook now and begin doing the activities in it with your scout. The first item your scout will need to work on is his “Bobcat” Rank which can be found in the front of his Cub Scout Handbook. Kinder = Lion, 1st Grade = Tiger, 2nd Grade = Wolf, 3rd Grade = Bear, 4th Grade = Webelos, 5th Grade = Arrow of Light

 

● Read with your Cub Scout the “How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse Guide” pamphlet found in the front of the book. Take Youth Protection Training (YPT) found at my.scouting.org. YPT training is REQUIRED for all registered adults.

 

● Ask to be added to our private families-only Facebook page, newsletter email list and Scoutbook email list. Talk to your Committee Chair.

 

● Scouting is more fun with friends! Boys or girls in grades Kinder-5th grade can join Cub Scouts at any time. Talk with other parents and kids and have them join the Pack now to make Cub Scouting even more fun. Your scout will be recognized as a “recruiter” by the Pack & earn a special patch if they recruit friends to join.

​

● Consider being a Cub Scout leader or Pack Committee member. Your scout’s experience in Cub Scouting depends on your involvement. 

​

● Purchase a Cub Scout uniform for your scout to wear. Be sure to get a size large enough to last several years as they grow.
