Welcome to Pack 335



SCOUTING IS FUN WITH A PURPOSE!

Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 335's website. Our program is based on the 12 Core Cub Scouting Values. Our Pack is sponsored by and holds its meetings at the Effingham Knights of Columbus. The Cub Scout motto is to “Do your Best!” We try to put that into all that we do.

Cub Scouting is a family based program for 1st (Tigers) , 2nd (Wolves), 3rd (Bears), 4th & 5th-grade (Webelos) boys. The boys earn rank, arrow points, beltloops, and other awards for their hard work. Our Pack participates in various events like the Pinewood Derby, Raingutter Regatta, campouts, fundraisers, community service activities and much more!

The goal of Cub Scouting is to help boys grow into good citizens, who are strong in moral character and physically fit. Cub Scouting truly is fun with a purpose! As a parent, you want your son to grow up to be a self-reliant, dependable and caring individual. Scouting has these same goals in mind for him. Since 1910, we have been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, good citizenship, and physical fitness in youth. Scouting teaches family values.

We know that boys do not join Scouting just to get their character built. Boys join because it is fun. If you want your son to have some fun, enjoy outdoor adventures and participate in a program that will support him in all of his best efforts, then Cub Scouts is the place for your son. He’ll learn to live the Cub Scout motto and experience the rewards of helping others achieve the same.

Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best!



Do Your Best!

In a society where your son is often taught that winning is everything, Cub Scouting teaches him to “do his best” and be helpful to others as expressed in the Cub Scout Promise. Cub Scouting is a home and neighborhood centered program designed to support family life for boys in first through fifth grades. Each Cub Scout learns to respect God, his Country, his home, and other people. The program also helps boys this age to:

• Learn new physical skills through sports, crafts, and games.
• Learn how to get along with others through group activities.
• Reinforce mental skills such as writing and calculating.
• Develop personal independence.

The Cub Scout Promise



I promise
When you say "I promise," it means you will do your best to keep your word. It is very important to keep your promises and to stand by the things you say. This shows people that they can trust you and rely on you. 

To do my best
Giving your best effort is right and honest. Always remember that your best is not the same as someone else's best. Doing the best you can is more important than trying to be better than someone else.

To do my duty to God
Doing what is right and not doing things we know are wrong is one way to do our duty to God. Another way is to practice our religion at home and at our place of worship. We should respect other people's religious beliefs even if they are different from our own.

And my country
Duty to country starts with being a good citizen. This means caring about the people in your community and helping people. Good citizenship also means obeying the law. It means standing up for the rights of all Americans. Good citizens also take care of America's land, water, and natural places.

To help other people
Helping other people means doing things to help those around you—your family, friends, classmates, neighbors, and others in your community—without having to be told.

And to obey the Law of the Pack
Besides obeying the Law of the Pack (below), you should obey the laws in your community and state, the rules in your school, the rules at home, and the code of conduct in your den.
