Cub Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys and their parents. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Service projects, ceremonies, games, and other activities guide boys through the core values and give them a sense of personal achievement. Through positive peer group interaction and parental guidance, boys also learn honesty, bravery, and respect. Family involvement is an essential part of Cub Scouting and parents are encouraged to play an active role in the program. Through interaction between parents, leaders, and friends, boys learn citizenship, compassion, and courage. This family-and community-centered approach to learning means that Cub Scouting is truly time well spent.

Renewing Scouts in Milaca do not have to pay the annual National registration fee as our charter organization, American Legion Post 178, helps to take care of this for all Boy Scouts in Milaca as long as they remain active with Scouts and are local residents. The remainder of this fee is paid through the proceeds of our annual Popcorn Sale! Renewing Scouts pay only for their new handbooks, neckerchiefs and slides.
Other costs include uniforms and some activity fees including those for the Day Camp and Resident Camps. Youth members participate in one fund-raising activity (Popcorn), which helps to cover Fees, Awards, Achievements, Pack events, Den supplies, equipment, and other activities. -
