Why participate with Tiger and Cub Scouts?

 Most children are not adventurous as we were  The advent of video entertainment  The dangers to children in our society

 We need to be visible to all the community on a regular basis.  If you have a good reputation you will attract Scouts.  Getting the parents know you as leaders.  Getting the parents know your Scouts.  Would you let your son go off with someone for the weekend you did not know personally?

 The Cub Pack is adult leader oriented. The Cubs do what is planned for them.  In Boy Scouts it is boy lead with only guidance form the adults.  These are two different forms of leadership and planning.  Reducing the culture shock between Cubs and Boy Scouts.

 Part of being visible, Boy Scouts set the example, good and bad.  A fun example kids want to do.  A bad example the parents will keep the kids away.  Boy Scouts do many things cubs can participate in.  They participate, like and want…

 Imagine you and your Cub Pack was invited to a Boy Scout function.  What would you expect to see?  What would you do if you saw bad behavior from the Boy Scout?  What would you do if you saw lack of adult leadership in that troop?  What if you saw both?
