What is Cub Scouts?
Cub Scouts Pack 13 is a group of families that do fun things together with our kids! We are part of an organization called Scouting America, which used to be known as Boy Scouts. A lot has changed though, the biggest change being that it is not just for boys anymore! All are welcome!
Our Cub Scouts get to wear cool uniforms, go places, and have adventures! Parents get to be directly involved with their Cub Scouts. Parents do not have to do all the activities, but they are at events to assist their Cub Scouts and witness their achievements. As a Cub Scout Family, you are part of our Pack.
Pack 13 is divided into smaller groups called Dens. We have six Dens, one for each grade level. Each Den has six to ten Cub Scouts who are in the same grade and mostly live in Bennington.​ Dens usually do two activities per month and the whole Pack usually does one activity per month.
Who can Join PAck 13?
Cub Scouts Pack 13 is open to all children in Kindergarten to 5th grade. We serve all the area elementary schools as well as homeschoolers.
The Dens are: Lions (Kinders.), Tigers (1st graders), Wolves (2nd graders), Bears (3rd graders), Webelos (4th graders), & Arrow of Light (5th graders).
Kids who are in 6th to 12th Grade are not in Cub Scouts. They are in Scouts BSA. In Bennington, Troop 13 is open to 6th to 12 Graders. ​

What do Cub Scouts Do?
Cub Scouts have adventures! Each Den has adventures that allow Cub Scouts to earn rewards for completing them. If they complete the required adventures, then they advance to the next Den at the end of the Scouting year.
​
Dens have different age-appropriate activities that involve: camping, fishing, biking, hiking, building wood projects, creating art, playing games, learning life saving skills, learning how to stay healthy, doing STEM activities, learning about animals & nature, doing community service projects, racing things, learning how to be leaders & good citizens, and so much more!
