Cub Scouts is an organization for boys in Kindergargen through 5th grade. The scouting program emphasizes the principles of character development, spiritual growth, good citizenship, sportsmanship, family understanding, respectful relationships, personal achievement, friendly service, fun, and adventure.
Pack 285 is very active with campouts at least twice a year and many other sponsored activities throughout the year, and even over the summer. The entire pack meets on a monthly basis and each den (grade level) meets a few times a month.
The advancement trail starts with earning the Bobcat badge, followed by the ranks of Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and the Arrow of Light. Each year builds upon the last, but boys can join at any time during elementary school or the school year and still achieve their rank in the Spring. As the Cub Scouts program moves forward, each step prepares the individual for Boy Scouts and continuing their scouting adventure. We encourage the boys to live by the scout law in all aspects of their life and to have a lot of fun in the process
The Scout Law A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
