This Month's Core Value:
Positive Attitude

To have a positive attitude means being cheerful and setting our minds to look for and find the best in all situations. As boys participate in various activities, they will come to understand that all things change and they can make a difference in how that change affects their lives. A positive outlook will provide hope and excitement for their future.

Submit a Joke!

Cubmaster Greg is always looking for new material.  Send him a joke (and your name), so that you can be blamed... errrr.... we mean "thanked".... for submitting it!

Polar Cubs Day Camp:

There may still be time to sign up for one of the fun-filled one-day camps offered by our local council. You can read all the details and sign up on our Camping Page.
