Cub Scout Pack 221 (Manorville, New York) Homepage

In 1930, the Boy Scouts of America created a new opportunity called Cub Scouting for boys younger than Boy Scout age. A year-round, home-centered program used by chartered organizations, Cub Scouting emphasizes involvement between boys and their parents, adult leaders, and friends. In the multidimensional plan of the Boy Scouts of America, Cub Scouting is where it all begins.

Strengthen a boy's ability to get along with others.
Foster personal achievement. Develop new interests and skills.
