About Pack 485 and Cub Scouts:

Pack 485 is chartered and sponsored by First Baptist Church of Gray, GA. Cub Scouting focuses on the home and neighborhood. It helps Scouts strengthen connections to their local communities, which in turn supports their growth and development. Cub Scouting is a family activity and is open to boys and girls kindergarten through fifth grade.

Why Join Cub Scouts?

When you sign your child up for Cub Scouts, they’ll benefit from these three key character-building attributes:

  1. Goal Orientation: Scouting provides a clear path for kids to succeed at making and achieving tough goals. Whether working toward achieving a new Scouting rank or striving to gain a new skill, Scouts are constantly working toward reaching measurable goals. Not only do these achievements follow a Scout throughout life, but habits are established of setting and striving for personal, academic, and professional goals as an adult.

  2. Leadership: Scouting provides consistent opportunities for Scouts to learn and practice leadership skills. Leading projects and peers is the norm for kids in the program. As Scouts mature in rank, their leadership abilities continue to grow and they’re offered even more opportunities to lead. This helps kids develop into adults who standout as leaders in their workplaces and communities.

  3. Preparedness: Scouting builds life skills (like learning to conquer hard tasks) by facing challenges head-on. The program is structured so that what once seemed impossible to a Scout becomes attainable, a positive cycle that prepares youth for the undoubted challenges they will meet in life.
