Cub Scout Sign-Ups Occurring Now!

Cub Scout sign-ups are being held across North Andover now through mid-October.

Cub Scouts is for boys (and their families) who are in first through fifth grades, or 7 to 10 years of age. Cub Scouting offers opportunities for young people to enjoy special time with their parents, while making friends and having real-life adventures in the community and in the outdoors.

The Cub Scout program is designed to enrich the boys’ lives, and promote character, leadership skills, and mental and physical fitness in a fun atmosphere.

Typical Cub activities include, but are certainly not limited to:

• Outdoor adventures such as hiking and camping
• Craft projects such as building (and testing!) catapults and Pinewood Derby cars
• Overnights to great places such as the Museum of Science and Battleship Cove
• Service projects such as Scouting for Food and marching in Veterans Day and Memorial Day
Parades
• Learning core values such as citizenship, respect, honor, courage, and perseverance
