This guide from Scouting America lays out all the different parts of the Cub Scout program. 

Be sure to check out the Pack 100 FAQ for any other questions you might have!

Learn about the awards, advancement, and adventures of Cub Scouting. 

Your Scout does not have to attend every meeting or activity we have! Families have lots of other stuff going on.

So if your Scout misses a meeting where requirements are worked on....that's ok! Every requirement for advancement can be done at home. Talk to your den leader about the best way to do an activity and how to get credit. With everything we do in Pack 100, we follow the Cub Scout motto: do your best!

There's so much awesome gear for all the outdoor adventures Pack 100 goes on, and it's hard to know where to start!

First are the Cub Scout Six Essentials. Every den covers this topic early and often, but these are the basics to take on any hiking, camping, or outdoor adventure.

1. Reusable water bottle

2. Snacks

3. Flashlight

4. Whistle

5. First aid kit (making one will be an activity early in the year)

6. Sun protection

...and a backpack to carry these items in.

For camping, the the list can go on forever, but here are the basics of what is needed for the kind of camping we will be doing in Pack 100. We'll discuss packing lists before every camping trip.

• Sleeping bag

• Tent

• Sleeping pad

• Rain gear

• Insect repellent
