The Benefits of Scouting:

Parents of young boys face a lot

of choices in after-school

activities.  Boys want to have

Boys want to have fun, while

parents want them to learn

positive values and skills

that will last a lifetime.   If

         your boy is about to enter

                    first through fifth grade,

                                 Cub Scouting may be exactly

                                                 what you are both

                                                               looking for.

          Scouting provides youth

with an opportunity to try new things,

provide service to others, build self-confidence,

and reinforce ethical standards. These opportunities not only help them when they are young, but carry forward

             into their adult lives, improving their

                                       relationships and the values by

                                                             which they live.

As a parent, there are other

extracurricular activities you can encourage

for your son to find new friends.  However, few programs focus on building character, training them to be good citizens and encouraging them to become more physically, mentally, and morally fit through fun activities.  Through shared positive experiences, Scouts have mutual, meaningful memories that will take their friendships to a deeper level.  The experiences they share aren’t for just

                                     one season.  The Scouting

                                                              programs

                                                            continue

                                                           through high

                                                          school.
