Scouting Resources
Cub Scouting activities are designed for Scouting families to get in on the fun, and include exploring the outdoors, building projects, making friends, and developing a lifelong love of learning. Cub Scouts earn patches related to their grades through achievements defined for their rank, and are assigned a Den with other scouts in the same grade. Advancement refers to the progress a Cub Scout makes toward their completion of their rank.

Uniforms
The Cub Scout uniform helps encourage a sense of belonging and personal neatness. It’s also how your Cub Scout will display his or her Cub Scouting achievements. Cubs should wear their uniform shirt tucked in at all Pack and Den meetings. Scouts should check with the Den Leader on any questions on specifics of the uniform parts.
Uniforms can be purchased online at scoutshop.org or locally at:
Garden State Council - 693 Rancocas Mt Holly Rd, Westampton, NJ 08060

For less formal events we also have pack t-shirts for both scouts and their families. Anyone interested in purchasing a shirt should contact their den leader.
Camping
Cub Scout camping is a family-centric program and parents attendance with their scout is strongly encouraged, and may be required depend on the scout's age. Official BSA guidelines to safe scouting can be found here.
Scouts are generally responsible for bringing their own gear. A list of recommended items to pack can be found here. If a scout does not have an item, they should check with their Den Leader to see if there is another family that they can borrow from.
