Our goal is to provide an opportunity for your boys to experience the things in life that they might not otherwise experience on their own. Sometimes these activities may be something your son may continue throughout his lifetime. Your son is joining more than 2 million other boys in the United States for a family-oriented program where parents, leaders and organizations work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouting: character development, spiritual growth, good citizenship, sportsmanship and fitness, family understanding, respected relationships, personal achievement, friendly service, fun and adventure, and preparation for Boy Scouts. Pack 145 uses seven specific methods to achieve our aim of helping boys to build character, train in the responsibilities of citizenship, and develop personal fitness. The seven methods are: the ideals, the Den, advancement, family involvement, activities, home and neighborhood centered, and the uniform. This may seem like a lot, but it becomes clear when you see how we implement our program.
