BE PART OF A TRADITION...

In Cub Scouting, boys and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values. Cub Scouting embraces the values of citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health and fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility. These values come to boys in all parts of the Cub Scout program—all while they're having a great time with their friends and families. The West Hempstead Cub Pack 240 has been part of this tradition for 50 Years. Now it's YOUR turn to be part of the tradition...come join us!!Laughing
