What Scouts Do

At Cub Scout Pack 62, we believe that scouting should be fun, meaningful, and family-centered. Our program is built around adventure, learning, and teamwork, helping boys and girls develop the skills and confidence they need to grow into strong leaders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups can join Cub Scouts?

Cub Scouting is for boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Do parents have to attend meetings?

Yes — for safety and program quality, a parent or guardian must stay for the entire meeting, no matter their Scout’s age. Cub Scouting is a family-focused program, and we want parents to be actively involved, spend quality time with their Scout, and help make meetings successful.

It also gives parents a chance to see how the program works — because we always need great volunteers to help keep the Pack running. Scouting is stronger when families are engaged, and we welcome any help you’re willing to offer!

How much does it cost to join?

Cub Scouts has a national membership fee, and each pack sets its own dues. For Pack 62, registration is $30 (sponsored rate) and pack dues are $10 per month.

We keep it simple—start with the shirt, then add items when you’re ready. Here’s what to expect:

  • Uniforms – Begin with the official Cub Scout shirt. Add hat, belt, and neckerchief later at your pace. Our church “Pack 62” activity shirts start at $13.99 for meetings and messy adventures (not a substitute for the formal shirt at ceremonies). Adult · Youth
  • Handbooks & Supplies – Each rank has a handbook; some activities may use simple craft or project materials.
  • Badges & Awards – Pack dues help cover awards, patches, and many program supplies. (Some specialty items may be purchased separately.)
  • Extras – Events like Pinewood Derby, campouts, or special outings may have small costs, but we keep them reasonable and often subsidized.

Need help? We believe every child should be able to be a Scout. Quiet financial assistance is available. Just let a leader know, and we’ll make it work.

When and where do meetings happen?

Dens meet weekly, and the pack meets once a month. Meetings are usually held at Lithia Springs Methodist Church, but special events may happen elsewhere.

What happens at meetings?

Den meetings focus on hands-on activities, adventure requirements, and learning new skills. Pack meetings bring all dens together for fun events, achievements, and pack-wide activities.

How do I sign up?

To get started, fill out our Pack 62 Interest Form. This is not an official registration, but it helps us connect with you and answer any questions.

Cub Scouts also offers online registration through the official BSA website, but we strongly recommend talking to us first before registering online to avoid overpaying!

Have questions? Email us at [email protected].

What does my scout need to get started?

Your scout will need a uniform, handbook, and pack dues paid. We’ll guide you on where to get everything and what’s required for their rank.

Do scouts go camping?

Yes! Camping is an exciting part of Cub Scouting, but it varies by rank. Younger scouts (Lions and Tigers) do family-friendly campouts, while older ranks (Bears, Webelos, and Arrow of Light) get to experience more outdoor activities.

How is Cub Scouting different from Scouts BSA?

Cub Scouting is for younger children (Kindergarten–5th grade) and focuses on family involvement, structured activities, and adventure loops. Scouts BSA (for ages 11–17) is youth-led, with more independence, merit badges, and advanced outdoor skills.
