Resources for Leaders

Cub Scouting is a fun and exciting way to teach our boys how to grow into skilled and capable young men. At times, an unprepared leader can feel overwhelmed trying to prepare for meetings and keep up with all the activities that are available. The key to avoiding "overload" is to plan ahead and utilize resources prepared specifically to aid in creating a successful and enjoyable program. Here you will find some basic resources to help take the guesswork out of planning your scouting program.

A note about flags - Pack 374 performs flag retirement ceremonies at least twice per year. However, with great respect for our nation's flag, the pack would like to collect several flags, new, used, or worn, for the purpose of teaching the scouts proper handling, storage, and disposal of our flag. If you have a flag or flagpoles with stands that you would like to donate, please contact the pack at pack374bes@yahoo.com.
