Welcome Parents and Cub Scouts: Welcome to Pack 350 Cub Scouts! Pack 350 is chartered by the Bowen Elementary School PTO and registered by the Sam Houston Area Council in the Arrowmoon District. Information can be found here for Bowen Pack 350 Cub Scouts. It may be helpful for you to bookmark the page as one of your favorite Internet web pages. We will be posting organization announcements and calendar of events here.
Purpose: The purpose of the Cub Scouts (a part of Boy Scouts of America) is to promote, through cooperation with other agencies, the ability of youth to do things for themselves and others, and to teach youth patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues. In achieving this purpose, emphasis is place upon the Boy Scouts of American's educational program and its oaths, promises and codes for character development, citizenship training, and mental and physical fitness.

Where
does my Cub Scout start?
All Cub Scouts must earn the Bobcat badge first; there are eight steps to complete this achievement. |
Be a Volunteer! The applicant must possess
the moral, educational, and emotional qualities that the BSA deems necessary to
afford positive leadership to youth. The applicant must also be the
correct age, and subscribe to the Declaration of Religious Principle, and abide
by the Scout Oath or Promise, and the Scout Law. Would you consider being
a leader? You can go on-line at the link you will find below and submit it
to one of the Pack 350 leaders.
Please sign-up to be a Cub Scout or Cub Scout Leader by contacting one of the leaders mentioned below. The organization is only as good as the leaders and parents that volunteer for our boys.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: When can we join Cub Scouts?
A: Anytime! Each year in the Fall we have a Night to Join Scouting--this year on August 31, 2006 at 7pm in the Bowen cafeteria, however, you can join in the fun at anytime! Just contact a leader and come to the den meetings, pack meetings, and other special events. To be a Tiger Cub, you must be turning 7 years of age by June (the end of the school year), and be in the 1st grade (home-schooled boys should be turning 7 years of age by June).
Q: Where should we start?
A: All Cub Scouts MUST earn the Bobcat badge first. You should obtain a Cub Scout field manual for your Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos scout. This booklet is MOST helpful and has all the information you and your Cub Scout need to go through the achievement program.
