All new Cub Scouts that were not in the Lion program (Kindergarten) need to first earn Bobcat. If you have already registered and are excited to get started you should start with Bobcat right now!
As a participant in the Scout Point delivery method of the Cub Scout program we do function a little bit differently from a traditional model. When you see terms like Den or Pack those should be substituted by family. With that in mind here is a short video to welcome you more into Cub Scouting.
