FAQ
Quick Answers for First-Timers
Can younger or older siblings come along?
Yes! There are almost always siblings running around and playing in the back of the cafeteria. As long as you keep an eye on them, the entire family is welcome.
Do parents have to stay for the meeting?
For your trial visit, we ask that you stay to experience it together. Once you join: Kindergarten (Lions) and 1st Graders (Tigers) require an adult partner to attend per national safety rules. From 2nd grade and up, you are welcome to drop off (though many parents stay and socialize!).
My child is shy and doesn't know any kids in the pack.
That is completely normal! Den leaders immediately assign a welcoming “buddy” to sit next to them. If your child prefers to just sit with you and watch the first meeting from the sidelines, they are encouraged to do whatever feels most comfortable.
What if we miss a meeting or start mid-year?
You can join anytime of the year! Cub Scout adventures are modular, not sequential. Missing a meeting never puts your child behind, and there are no penalties or attendance records kept.
