Why participate with Tiger and Cub Scouts?

Most children are not adventurous as we were

The advent of video entertainment The dangers to children in our society

We need to be visible to all the community on a regular basis.

If you have a good reputation you will attract Scouts.

Getting the parents know you as leaders. Getting the parents know your Scouts. Would you let your son go off with

someone for the weekend you did not know personally?

The Cub Pack is adult leader oriented. The Cubs do what is planned for them.

In Boy Scouts it is boy lead with only guidance form the adults.

These are two different forms of leadership and planning.

Reducing the culture shock between Cubs and Boy Scouts.

Part of being visible, Boy Scouts set the example, good and bad.

A fun example kids want to do. A bad example the parents will keep the

kids away. Boy Scouts do many things cubs can

participate in. They participate, like and want…

Imagine you and your Cub Pack was invited to a Boy Scout function.

What would you expect to see? What would you do if you saw bad

behavior from the Boy Scout? What would you do if you saw lack of

adult leadership in that troop? What if you saw both?
