What Parents Should Know
Pack 12's mission is to deliver to the boys and their families, in the North Lamar School District, the Cub Scout Program developed by the Boy Scouts of America. We will do our best to offer a high quality program to all boys in grades one through five. Our sons will advance in rank each year, beginning with Tiger Cubs and progressing successively as Wolfs, Bears, and Webelos to the Arrow of Light in fifth grade. We will encourage our boys to continue the fun, adventure and development of Scouting by crossing over into Boy Scout Troop 3990. We hope each of our Scouts will continue to advance in the Scouting program, not because of the badge of rank they will earn but because of what they will learn about themselves, their families, others, God and their country.

The primary values we seek to instill are contained in the Cub Scout Promise:

..to do my best to do my duty to God and my country,
to help other people, and to obey the law of the pack.

Our Scouts, families and adult leaders work together to teach these values by:
  • Influencing each Scout's character development and spiritual growth
  • Developing habits and attitudes of good citizenship
  • Encouraging good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body
  • Improving understanding and communication within the family
  • Strengthening skills in getting along with and respecting others
  • Fostering a sense of personal achievement by developing new interests and skills
  • Providing fun and exciting things to do
  • Showing each Scout how to "do your best"
  • Preparing each Cub Scout to become a Boy Scout
    But the most critical factor in your child's development as a scout or a citizen is ...

    YOU

    It is your participation in his childhood that shapes his views about the world and himself. Show him he is worthy of your attention and time by sharing and living the ideals of scouting in this adventure together. He will develop a healthy outlook on life and confidence in his abilities, and you will gain a treasure beyond value.

    The Parents Promise

    As a parent of a Cub Scout, I will do my best to help my boy live up to the Cub Scout promise and obey the Law of the Pack. I will work with my boy on his achievements and projects. I will attend the Pack meetings and help as needed to make the Pack go.
