Cub Scout Pack 429

Wolf Cub Scouts are 8 years old when they join Pack 429 and become Bear Cub Scouts when they turn 9 years old. They work with their parents and den leaders to complete activities to earn their respective badges. When they turn 10 they become a WEBELOS Cub Scout and work mostly with their den leader to complete the requirements needed to earn their WEBELOS badge and ARROW OF LIGHT badge (the highest honor in Cub Scouts and only patch that can be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform).

October's Theme is...Jungle Safari

The WOLF Cubs have the opportunity to work on Achievements 1a,1b,1c,1d,1e,1f,1g,1k,1l,2a,2b,2e,2f,7a,7b,7c,7e, 7f and Elective 2e.

The jungle is a fun place for boys to explore the exciting world outside their backyards.

Parents or guardians of WOLF Cubs are encouraged to work on additional achievements and electives that support this theme, such as:

Achievement 4d, Know Your Home and Community: Boys can practice turning off lights and water when leaving home.

Elective 13, Birds: Boys can learn about and care for birds in their local area.
Conservation and Leave No Trace awards: Completing Achievement 7 is part of earning the Cub Scout World Conservations Award and Cub Scouting's Leave No Trace Awareness Award. We have wonderful birds to see and learn about here in our town and in Cibola Wildlife Refuge.

BEAR Cubs
The history of the Cub Scout story highlights Baloo, the wise old brown bear who taught the wolf cubs the Law of the Pack. The Bear cubs have the opportunity to work on Achievements 3f, 5c, 9e, 15a, and 16c.

The parents of the BEAR Cubs are encourage to work on these additional achievements and elective: Achievement 8b, The Past is Exciting and Important: Cub Scouts can investigate how Cub Scouting has changed over the years. Achievement 17d, Information, Please: Boys can use a computer to get information on different animals that may be threatened. Elective 14a, Landscaping: Fall cleanup at a local church or in public areas is a good Cub Scout project.

In September, the WEBELOS attended the court house and practiced raising and lowering the AMERICAN FLAG at Ruth Brown Elementary school for their CITIZEN Badge. The Citizen badge is one of the required badges to earn their WEBELOS badge!

The yearly Leader POW WOW is Saturday November 7, 2009 in Las Vegas. Go to the Council's website to register or find online training available:

Gum Gallery Tour in September






School and weekly den meetings have begun again. October is here and so is the cool weather! Yeah to that! September's Cub Scouting theme was Cub Scout Pockets. The scouts made crafts, pet rocks, pocket holder of emergency phone numbers and shared their own collections and visited the largest chewing gum collection, probably in the world! The Gum Gallery is in Quartzsite, Arizona and is collected by Joanne Brunet. She has been collecting gum since the 1940's and the Scouts loved it!
