About Pack 2

Our Mission

cub_handshake.jpg

Pack 2 was established in the mid-1980s to provide a scouting presence at North Florida Christian School.  The school and church (North Florida -- formerly Temple -- Baptist Church) are supportive of and involved in our scouting activities.
 
Scouting provides a structured learning environment for boys in subjects not necessarily taught in school.  Scouts learn outdoor skills and have the values that are being taught at home and school reinforced in an environment separate from the normal, everyday routine.
 
Cub Scouts are prepared for participation in Boy Scouts, where they learn life skills and build lasting friendships.

Purposes of Cub Scouting (copied from Cub Scout Leader Book)

The purpose of the Boy Scouts of America as incorporated February 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in June 1916, is to provide for boys and young adults an effective educational program designed to build desirable qualities of character; to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship; and to develop personal fitness.  Mighty serious business, all done in the spirit of fun.

Since 1930 the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting.  It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9 and 10 years of age).  Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the following:

  • Influence the development of character and encourage spiritual growth.
  • Help boys develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship.
  • Encourage good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body.
  • Improve understanding within the family.
  • Strengthen boys' ability to get along with other boys and respect other people.
  • Foster a sense of personal achievement by helping boys develop new interests and skills.
  • Show how to be helpful and do one's best.
  • Provide fun and exciting new things to do.
  • Prepare them to become Boy Scouts.

These are the purposes of Cub Scouting.  Activities planned by leaders and enjoyed by boys relate to one or more of these purposes.  These purposes help us achieve the overall aims of the Boy Scouts of America.

We're proud of Cub Scouting and what it offers to young people and their families.  We believe you will feel the same way as you begin to see just what it's all about.
