YORK-ADAMS AREA COUNCIL        BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

 Is Your Child Learning Your Values?

Do you want your son to grow up to be self-reliant, dependable and caring?  Is it important to you that he learns traditional values such as honesty, trustworthiness, and respect for others and the environment?  If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you should check out what Cub Scouting has to offer boys in first through fifth grades.

York-Adams Area Council invites parents and their sons to become a part of one of America's leading values-driven organizations.  The Cub Scout program is a valuable resource that can help families accomplish worthy goals while building and strengthening relationships within the family.

Cub Scouting combines fun with educational opportunities and lifelong values.  It also helps parents to help their boys strengthen character, develop good citizenship, and enhance both mental and physical fitness.  In addition, the program provides boys with positive peer groups and tools to shape their future.

In Cub Scouting, boys learn ideals like honesty, bravery and respect.  These values help boys make constructive decisions throughout their lifetimes and given them confidence they need to grow and develop.  According to a recent study conducted by Louis Harris & Associates, "Character may be defined as the 'willingness to do what is right, regardless of circumstances.'  Cub Scouting teaches boys what is right, in part by encouraging them to reflect on lessons learned through Cub Scouting activities."

Cub Scouting:  Everything you could want for your son and more!
