Straight Answers
The questions every parent asks first
Asked at every join night. Answered here.
How much time, really?
One den meeting a week, one pack event a month. Miss a week? Nothing happens.
Do we have to camp?
No. Everything is choose-what-fits.
I was never a Scout.
Neither were most of us. Leaders run the program — you just show up.
Do parents have to volunteer?
Not to join. Most families pitch in for one event a year.
Is it for girls too?
Yes. Boys and girls, K–5, dens for everyone.
How do you keep kids safe?
Background checks and Youth Protection training for every adult. Two trained leaders at every activity — no exceptions.
No Commitment Required
Crash a meeting. Decide later.
No registration, no cost, no uniform. Your kid jumps into the game; you talk to the parents.
