St. Leo the Great Church

The Cub Scouts consist of boys in grades 1-5 and are organized into Packs. The Cub Packs for each grade are as follows:

Tiger Cubs - 1st grade
Wolf Cubs - 2nd grade
Bear Cubs - 3rd grade
Webelos I - 4th grade
Webelos II - 5th grade

Pack 98 is chartered and supported by St. Leo the Great Parish. The American Scout Oath professes a dedication to a strong and everlasting belief in God. Scouts must therefore not only commit themselves to learn the basics of scouting but should in addition commit themselves to learn and understand the basic teachings of the Catholic Church or of any Christian Church. Each pack member is strongly urged to pursue optional programs leading to religious emblems. These programs are available and are specially structured to meet the needs of each scout as they begin their lives as Christian adults.

St. Leo the Great Parish holds the strong belief that now, more than ever, Catholic youth need Scouting because it provides a support system for building lifetime skills, and instills and reinforces values that our youth need to solve their problems in a positive manner. Scouting affords all of us the opportunity to give our youth the hope and spirit that will make their dreams and ours a reality.

Religious Emblems
To promote the spiritual phase of Scouting, the National Catholic Committee on Scouting has sanctioned and recognizes two programs for Catholic boys in Cub Scouts:

Light of Christ (grades 1 - 2) - This emblem is given to Tiger Cub and Cub Scouts (through Wolf) for advancement in spiritual growth and religious knowledge.

Parvuli Dei (grades 3 - 5) - This is a Christian family emblem to recognize Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts for advancement in religious knowledge and spiritual formation. With the help of parents or guardians, the boy becomes more aware of God's presence in his daily life, especially within his home and community.
