First Den Meeting September 18 at 6:30pm at the HN Congregational Church
Program Offerings
Lion Cubs - Kindergarten
The Lion program weaves traditional Scouting concepts of character development, leadership skills, personal fitness and citizenship into activities that are age-appropriate and fun for the cubs and their parents. The activities introduce the family to Cub Scouting, and provide an exciting way for the little ones to explore the world around them. The program will fuel their imagination, creativity and fun as they experience the growth Scouting can provide. At the end of the Lion year, they “graduate” to Tiger and advance through Cub Scouting. See the flyer in "Important Documents" Tab.
Tiger Cubs - First Grade
The Tiger Cub program is designed to introduce first grader and their adult partners to Cub Scouting. Each cub/adult pair selects a theme from one of 17 "Big Ideas.", each family serve as hosts for a one meeting. Tiger cubs go on field trips once a month that we call them "go see its". The Tiger Cub and their family attend the monthly Cub Scout pack meeting.

Wolf cubs are for second graders. Their adventures area Call of the Wild, Council Fire (Duty to Country), Duty to God Footsteps, Howling at the Moon, Paws on the Path and Running with the Pack.

Webelos Scouts - Fourth Grade
These cubs begin to spend more time in the outdoors hiking, camping and exploring nature. The cubs get to decide what they want to work on, they pick from 20 different activity areas and have to complete 4 to move up to the second year of Webelos which is called Arrow of Light. This second year the cubs are preparing for their transition to become a Boy Scout.
Arrow of Light Scouts - Fifth Grade
These older Cub Scouts prepare for the transition into Boy Scouts. They earn activity badge pins in up to 20 activity areas that introduce them to a myriad of career possibilities. More independence is evidenced as the cubs complete most of their activities in the den setting. Besides the Webelos badge and activity pins, these cubs strive to earn the Arrow of Light badge, Cub Scouting's highest honor.
