Can We All Go?
Posted by admin under: Outings; policies .
Yes, we can! Cub Scouts is all about family and especially the youngest, Tigers, need to have a partner along on outings to make sure they are well supervised and comfortable. I just took a hike with my pack/troop/crew and everyone was there. From 5 years old to over 60. Sisters, moms, dads, and brothers all trekked the 2.5 miles up to Mount Lowe and back again. The Boy Scouts were trying to make connections with Cub Scout packs, which is always a good idea for recruiting in addition to being the friendly thing to do. We had two different Packs, one Troop, one Venturing Crew, and even a Girl Scout Troop being represented.
Tigers Ready
Some people would argue that Tigers are too young to camp and hike, but I know from personal experience that this isn’t true. Sure, their legs are shorter and so it takes a while longer for them to make the hike, but there’s no reason why they can’t go out with the big boys. In fact, they were running down the last 50 yards of the fire road on the way back, laughing with joy. So, if you’re wondering if there’s room for the whole family in your Cub Scout Pack, the answer is a resounding YES!
