What is Scouting?

Scouting has been teaching boys to appreciate the outdoors, learn how to work with others and make new friends since 1910.  Besides building your son’s confidence, Scouting give you the opportunity to watch him grow and mature into an active member of the community.

What do Scouts Learn?

A survey of Cub Scout parents given by the Wilder Research Center showed that over 50% of those surveyed said there was an increase in their son’s self-esteem, willingness to help others and ability to make good decisions and solve problems.  These results reveal that, aside from the fun and excitement of Scout activities, Scouting helps boys learn ideals they can apply to everyday life.

How are the Scouts organized?

Each Scout is a part of a den of 6-8 boys which meets three times a month for about 1 1/2 hours.  Each month, all the dens within a neighborhood community come together as a pack.  At monthly pack meetings, boys are recognized for their individual and group achievements.

What can I expect to get out of having a Scout in the family?

As much as or more than what you put in.  Scouting helps strengthen your relationship with your son and gives you a chance to spend real quality time having fun and learning together.

Can my son join if he has a disability or special need?

Absolutely.  The Scout’s motto is “Do Your Best” which means each boy is encouraged to perform to the best of his ability.  If you have any questions about your son’s special needs, give the Scout Service Center a call at 800-213-1418.

How do I get my son involved in Scouting?

The top of this flier should tell you when and where you can go to join the Pack nearest you.  Membership with the Boy Scouts of America is a very affordable activity, but all boys can join regardless of their ability to pay.  If you can’t make the scheduled meeting, don’t worry, you can join anytime.  Just contact the Madison Scout Service Center at 800-213-1418 or visit us at www.beascout.org.

Have fun!  Make Friends!  Be a Scout!
