Cub Scouting has an "Advancement" program, but the central core is a community of families doing fun things and making memories.  A century ago, Scouting was described as "A Game With a Purpose".  Cub Scouting can be described today (especially in the younger levels) as "A Play Date With A Purpose".  If you want ideas of Fun, Simple, Easy Activities that you can do -- maybe with other families in your Den or grade group -- check out the Fun, Simple, Easy Activities at this page and find something you want to do. That list is grouped into 

• Outdoor Ideas (Hiking and More)
• Wheels Ideas (Bikes, Skates/boards, Scooters)
• Cooking and Eating Activities

See the Frequently Asked Questions and find your answer.  Like "Who Leads A Den" or "who decides what and when and where to do activities" (spoiler alert: it is healthy, kind and fair for a team of parents to share the lead of meetings and meeting parts.  That is the best way to lead a den). 

As announced again in our 2026-27 Youth Local Registration and Pack Dues page, there are two parts of registration and payment to be in Pack 631 annually.  One is our Local Pack Program Fees (a/k/a "Dues") paid by (for) each Scout for the school year -- this can be paid now on this page, and the second is Scouting America National Registration Fee paid by (for) each Scout and each Leader directly to the Scouting America National organization for the next 12 months after your registration or renewal date -- if you were registered from last year, these can only be paid within 60 days of your "Anniversary Date" (more below).

Many of you will be receiving emails from Scouting America <noreply@scouting.org> entitled "Your Scouting America Membership is up for renewal" or - new this year - texts from "Sam", an AI Assistant for Scouting America.  Please follow the instructions in that email  or text to pay that second amount directly to the Scouting America National Organization.  If you have questions after review of that email or text, contact your temporary interim acting Pack Chair Bert Bender.
