Cub Scout Promise
I, (name), promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack.
Welcome to Pack 3
Pack 200 offers a family oriented program
for boys in grades 1-5 that combines fun with educational activities and
lifelong values. In Cub Scouting, boys learn ideals like honesty,
bravery, and respect. These values help boys make constructive decisions
throughout their lives and give them the confidence they need to grow
and develop.
Pack 200 also welcomes individuals who may have been involved in Scouting in the past or folks who are just interested in volunteering some time. You have the chance to be a positive influence on the youth in your community. If you have questions about the role you could play or for more information about Cub Scouting, please contact us for more information.

A Little Scout History,
The Cub Scouts as an organization was
founded by Robert Baden-Powell in 1916, ten years after the foundation
of the Boy Scouts, in order to cater for the many younger boys who had
not yet reached the age limit for the Scouts but who wanted to take part
in Scouting. During these first ten years many troops had either allowed
younger boys to join or had set up unofficial Junior or Cadet Scout
Troops. These Cadet Troops taught a much simpler form of Scouting,
including just the basic knotting techniques, basic first aid and
tracking. Cub Scouts are this year, 2006, celebrating 90 years of
Cubbing, with activities held all over the world.
Cub Scouts are organized in Packs, which
are usually linked to a Scout group (district), providing a community
with all age sections. Adult leaders of Cub packs take the names of The
Jungle Book 's main characters. The Cubs are taught that the leader is
called Akela. Akela is the Den leader at Den meetings; The Pack Leader
at Pack meetings; the Teacher at school, or the parent at home. Cub
Scouts have a distinctive two-finger salute according to the Jungle
theme, in contrast to the three-finger salute of Boy Scouts.
Like Scout Troops, Cub Scouts are assigned
to small teams within the Pack. Baden-Powell named the team Six, which
refers to the six members in each team. In the United States (U.S.),
these teams are each called a Den, and each Den has all boys in the same
school grade.
Youth Leaders from more senior Sections of
Scouting are actively encouraged to assist as Cub Scout Leaders.
Each Pack has a number of annual events such as the
Pinewood derby, the Space Derby, Summer Camp, Rocket Launch and the Boy
Scout birthday celebration. The emphasis of Cub Scouting is to have fun
and learn at the same time.
