Cub Scout Pack 104 - Cub Scout Program


Program Overview at Pack 104



	At Pack 104 we ask Parents to do 3 things:
	Participate with your Son in the Den activities - this is not a drop-off program ! Communicate with (and help) the Den Leader to make the Den level program activities meaningful and FUN ! Celebrate your Son's achievements !

	At Pack 104 we attempt to follow the BSA Cub Scout program as closely as possible. This makes it easier for the parents and Den Leaders to know what is expected of them and what activities to plan for.
	This program is outlined in 2 major documents:
	1 - The CUB SCOUT PROGRAM HELPS guidebook, and 2 - The Cub Scout Handbooks that relate to each year of Cub Scouts i.e., the (Tiger, Bear, Wolf, Webelos) handbooks
	These publications are available at the district scout office - in the scout store, please pick one up each year ! You will need them !


	Other Important Facts:
	The pack attempts to have 2 major activities outdoor each Year , Fall Family Campout and a Spring trip or Campout
	The Pack Funds its activities via One MAJOR fundraising event - POPCORN SALES ! - Last year we were the leading pack in our Council, this paid for major the "program" expenses (that is why we do not charge "Dues" to cover the Pack expenses) - Boys earn a percentage of their sales to help pay for their scout activities: trips, camp, etc (many boys paid for all or part of their major activities with their "Popcorn Credits") We believe strongly in this fundraiser as a character growth and development activity, and it helps keep the cost down for parents, we ask all boys to participate in this activity.
	Each Month we try to plan a special FUN activity like: Pinewood Derby, Holiday Parade, Ski Trip, etc. (sometimes this takes the place of a Pack meeting)
	Each month we have a PACK meeting to recognize the success and advancements of the BOYS
