Why You Should Make Time for Scouting
As parents, we want our children to grow up to be responsible, caring adults of character. While organized sports and other activities may teach them commitment, teamwork, and work ethics, they may not teach them other valuable lessons that help them become successful adults.
A Heritage of Building Character
For almost 100 years, The Boy Scouts of America have been helping today's boys become tomorrow's leaders. In fact, some of America's greatest leaders have been Scouts and it all began with the Cub Scout program.
Flexible Schedules
If your son is at least six years old, he can join Cub Scouts. It's safe, fun and flexible because it’s organized and planned locally so he can be a Cub Scout and participate in other activities.
Family Involvement
Plus, Cub Scouts is something the whole family can enjoy with him. You'll go with him on field trips and play sports — the Sam Houston Area Council has some of the best facilities in the country. He’ll also get to earn badges and work on projects like building a pinewood derby car.
