Are you in Kindergarten to fifth grade? Do you and your adult partner want to join Pack 29? Then fill out an online application.
Cub Scouting is fun! No matter what grade you are in, from having just entered Kindergarten through fifth grade, it can be a blast. Do you like to learn by doing? This is just the place. You can learn to tie knots, set up a tent, shoot a bow and arrow (archery). Have you ever cooked a meal on a campfire? Sent a secret code to a buddy? build a bird house? Play Ultimate? Hike? Earn rewards for doing these things in Cub Scouts.
As a Cub Scout, you will be part of your own pack. The pack is divided into smaller groups called dens. Each den has about six to eight boys. All of the Cub Scouts in your den are in the same grade and may even go to the same school. Our Cub Scout pack is chartered by the Rocklin Lions Club.
Have you been to the local Police Station and talked to the policeman on duty? Or visited the Fire Station and sat in the driver's seat of the ladder truck? Or visited the local television station and sat in the news anchor's chair? These are some of the places you might go with your den or pack.
You might also: Build a Pinewood Derby car and race it on the track, build a sailboat or trimaran and race it in the rain gutter regatta or build a space ship and race it to the stars in the pack space derby.
Each time you complete an accomplishment or learn a new skill, you will be rewarded. Sometimes the reward is a bead or a patch. Sometimes it is a smile on your parents' faces to see you grow and learn.
Pack 29 meets typically on the 4th Wednesday of the month at:
Rocklin Community Center
Springview Hall
5480 Fifth Street
Rocklin, CA 95677
In addition to the following activities, each year we’re presented with new and exciting opportunities to participate in events as a pack. For example, in 2011, we went to a Kings game and then got to sleep over at Arco Arena! In March 2012, we spent the night in the shark tunnel at the San Francisco Bay Aquarium! The following is just a brief outline of some of the activities we do each year as a Pack; individual Dens also have their activities and programs they participate in as well.

For Cub Scouts who are 5 or in Kindergarten. To begin his path to the Lion rank, the Lion will be introduced to the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. To earn the Lion badge, a Cub Scout must complete five adventures. After he has earned the Lion badge, a Lion can work on the seven elective adventures.
For Cub Scouts who have finished Kindergarten. To begin his path to the Tiger rank, the Tiger must learn the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. To earn the Tiger badge, a Cub Scout must complete five achievements. After he has earned the Tiger badge, a Tiger Cub can work on the fifty electives to earn Tiger track beads.
For Cub Scouts who have finished first grade. To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must complete twelve achievements. After he has earned the Wolf badge, a Wolf Cub Scout can work on the twenty-three Wolf electives to earn arrow points.
Cub Scouts who have finished second grade. There are Twenty-four Bear achievements in four groups. A boy must complete twelve of these achievements to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are harder and more challenging than those for the Wolf badge. When a boy has earned his Bear badge, he may work on twenty-five electives to earn Arrow Points to wear under his Bear badge.
Cub Scouts who have completed third grade. The Webelos den program is different from the Cub Scout den program. Everything in the Webelos Scout program is more challenging than what younger boys in the pack do. Webelos Scouts get to work on the 20 Webelos activity badges.
After a boy has completed the fourth grade and earned the WEBELOS badge, the next step on the WEBELOS trail to becoming a Boy Scout is earning the Arrow of Light Award. This is the highest award a Cub Scout can earn, and is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform. It's tougher to earn than the WEBELOS badge. The Cub Scout will have to earn the Webelos badge and at least eight activity badges, including Citizen, Readyman, and Fitness. The total must include one from each of the five activity groups.
