Middletown, Ohio

Cub Scouts for kindergarten through 5th grade

Boys and girls in Middletown and the communities around it. Cub Scouts is a family program built around outdoor adventures, making things, and helping out.

Grades K-5

Boys and girls. Your child starts with their current grade.

Dens by grade

A small group of kids the same age, inside one pack.

Your den's time

There is no pack-wide night. Each den picks a time that works.

Just show up

A first visit needs no uniform, no registration, and no experience.

What your family will do

Families join to get outside, build something, and do it with people they like. Here is the kind of year Cub Scouts has.

A typical month

  1. 1

    Your child's den meets on the schedule those families chose.

  2. 2

    The pack gets together for the bigger events.

  3. 3

    Outings are part of the year. Missing one for a game is normal.

Find your child's grade

Each grade has a rank. Choose a grade to see what they do and learn. A new Scout starts at the rank for the grade they are in now. Nobody goes back to the beginning.

You do this together

Kindergarten and 1st grade come with a parent. You take part in the meetings and the adventures, not from the sideline.

From 2nd grade on, a parent does not have to be at every meeting. You are always welcome, and families help in ways that fit.
