You’ve had some time to think about Scouting with your son and I hope you are excited about all the wonderful things coming up this year. In order to participate in these events, we must have a completed registration form from you. If you need one, you may contact your Den leader and they will make sure to get it back to us.
We know many of you have questions so we thought we would break everything down for you in more detail.
We are Saddle Brook Cub Scout Pack 222. Your son is joining a Den which is part of the Pack. The Dens are broken down by grade (ranks).
· Lion – Kindergarten
· Tiger – 1st Grade
· Wolf – 2nd Grade
· Bear – 3rd Grade
· Webelos – 4th Grade
· Arrow of Light – 5th Grade
All Dens meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at our Pack meeting. During our Pack meetings, we recognize the achievements the boys have made with their Den, we may have a guest speaker, we may have a party or we may work on achievements together. Each meeting will have a theme geared toward the core value of the month.
Paricipate with your Scout. We know that the more parents are involved with their Scout, the more he will get from the program. We encourage families to come to our Pack meetings and other family events throughout the year. This is your Scouts chance to show off his new skills. We ask one favor of you…during the meeting, it is important that siblings refrain from running around. We are guests in the school and we want to be sure we do not misuse their property. We WILL have FUN and we WILL be LOUD but we need to have some level of structure during the meeting.
Uniforms & Handbooks. Handbooks - Each Scout is required to have a handbook for his rank which should come with them to all Den meetings, Pack meetings & outings. As he completes a requirement, his Den Leader will be able to sign off the book & inform our Achievements Chairperson to ensure timely recognition.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your Den Leader. We are looking forward to an exciting and fun packed year with Pack 222!
Yours in Scouting,
Pack 222 Leaders
