 Cub Scouts
(grades 2-5)
Parents of young boys face a lot of
choices in after-school activities. Boys want to have fun, while parents
want them to learn positive values and skills that will last a lifetime. If
your boy is in second through fifth grade, Cub Scouting may be
exactly what you are both looking for.
As a parent, you can be assured that Cub
Scouting
- involves a variety of
family activities
- encourages good behavior
- teaches lifelong values
- strengthens the bonds of
family
Through the Cub Scouting program, the school can
provide the opportunity for boys to adopt and live by standards that will
serve as a cornerstone for success in life. Cub Scouting is the perfect
framework for developing responsibility, maturity, and leadership in today's
youth, enabling us to enrich the lives of boys and make a positive
difference in the kind of men they will become.

Brownie and Junior Girl
Scouts
(grades 1-3 and 4-5)
 Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's largest
organization dedicated to helping all girls everywhere build character and
gain skills for success in the real world. In an accepting and nurturing
environment, and in partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls
develop strong values, leadership skills, social conscience, and conviction
about their own potential and self-worth that will serve them all their
lives.
Without adults playing many pivotal roles, Girl
Scouting couldn't happen. Whether you're a leader/advisor, parent or
guardian, volunteer, or mentor, you awaken in girls their promise to develop
their full potential. Research shows that the influence one caring adult has
on a child will last a lifetime.
Helping girls grow strong is a fulfilling and inspiring
challenge and being involved means something different to everyone. You can
tailor your participation so that it fits right into your life. What do
adults in Girl Scouts do?
- Expand
horizons
- Build
values
- Create
a better future
- Make a
difference
