How to Join the Scouts

Joining the Lowell Pack 9 Cub Scouts is easy!  Pack 9 welcomes boys in first through fifth grade in the Lowell, Arkansas area.  During the fall, Leaders from Pack 9 visit Lowell and Tucker Elementary Schools for our Fall Roundup.  During the roundup, the leaders share details and information about the fun and great things that the local Cub Scouts do throughout the year!  To learn more about joining, we encourage you to read the information below.  If you have any questions that are not answered on this page, don't hesitate to contact our Cubmaster, Michelle.

What is Cub Scouting?

The Boy Scouts of America organization includes three areas; cub scouting, boy scouting, and venturing.  Cub Scouting is a year-round program for boys in first through fifth grade, or seven through ten years of age.  Cub Scouting is designed to teach values such as citizenship, character development, personal fitness, and spiritual growth.  Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things.  There are many hands-on activities.  Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the ten purposes of Cub Scouting:

Membership

The members of the scouts sign up with the local Pack.  The Pack is the primary group that includes all scouts in first through fifth grade.  Within the pack, there are several Dens.  Each den is broken down into similar age groups, normally grade specific.  The dens in Lowell Pack 9 include:

• Tiger Cubs -- First Grade
• Wolf Cub Scouts -- Second Grade
• Bear Cub Scouts -- Third Grade
• Webelos Scouts -- Fourth & Fifth Grade

The den meetings are each Tuesday at 6:30pm, normally held at the Lowell First Baptist Church.  Each den meets individually and engages in various activities.  Once each month, all of the scouts and their parents get together and hold a pack meeting in lieu of the weekly den meeting.  Other activities are scheduled at various times throughout the year.
