Pack 920 is for children in the Klein community and affiliated with the Phoenix District of the Sam Houston Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. In Cub Scouting you’ll have lots of fun, adventure, and activities with your den and pack. Being a Cub Scout means you are a member of a worldwide youth movement that stands for certain values and beliefs. It’s all about the person you are and the p
erson you will become. The Advancement Trail
On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses from rank to rank, learning new skills as he/she goes. Each of the ranks and awards in Cub Scouting has its own requirements. As you advance through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging, to match the new skills and abilities you learn as you get older. Ranks
Bobcat – No matter what age or grade a child joins Cub Scouting (1st grade or later), they must earn their Bobcat badge before they can advance to the rank of Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos. A scout must complete the Bobcat requirements, which include:
Learn and say the Cub Scout motto, the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law and tell what they mean;
Show the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake and tell what they mean; and
With your parent or guardian complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide. Lion (Kindergarten)

Cub Scouting Adventures
Cub Scouts have the opportunity to earn both required and elective recognition devices as they work toward their ranks. They also can earn recognition for additional elective adventures they choose to complete beyond those required for their rank. Lion,Tiger, Wolf, and Bear Scouts earn adventure loops to be worn on their belt, and Webelos Scouts earn pins they can wear on their Webelos colors or Webelos cap. Adventure loops and pins are a great way to help fulfill the aims of Scouting—build character, develop citizenship, and encourage mental and physical fitness. Through a variety of subjects, you can stretch your mind and abilities by exploring the wonders of science, learning about the world, and expanding skills in new area. This is a chance to try something new, do your best, and earn recognition all at the same time. Cub Scouts Do Things and Go Places
Have you been to the local police station and talked to the policemen on duty? Or visited the fire station and sat in the driver’s seat of the pumper truck? Or visited the local TV station and sat in the news anchor’s chair? These are some of the places you might go with your den or pack. You might also build a pinewood derby car and race it on the track, build a sailboat or trimaran and race it in the raingutter regatta, or build a spaceship and race it to the stars in the pack space derby. Cub Scouts Earn Awards
Each time you complete an accomplishment or learn a new skill, you will be rewarded. Sometimes the reward is a loop for your belt, pin, or a patch. Sometimes it is a smile on your parents’ faces to see you grow and learn.
