Montville Cub Scouts Seek New Members

Cub scouts let your son make new friends while doing fun, positive activities.

Is your kid playing Angry Birds too much? Get him involved in Montville Cub Scouts.

“Your son will make new friends and have fun as we go camping, hiking and fishing,” said Greg Goldstein Cubmaster of Pack 179. “Parents and Cub Scout leaders deliver a program of fun activities and "go-see-its" which gradually teaches boys life skills including communication, self-reliance, tool skills, first aid, nutrition, citizenship, community service and working cooperatively.”

Cub Scouts is a values-based program that has been around for more than 80 years. With the motto "Do Your Best!" Cub Scouts emphasizes character development.
