General
- What is Cub Scouting?
- Cub Scouting means “doing.” Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.
Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy’s sense of belonging.
- What is Pack 390?
- Pack 390 is a cub scout pack for 1st- through 5th-grade boys in Finneytown, Ohio and the surrounding areas.
The Pack is run solely by parents and volunteers within the Dan Beard Council / Maketewa District, and it is chartered under Northminster Presbyterian Church.
