Dear Parents,
Welcome to the fun and enriching world of scouting
with Pack 608 from Epiphany Lutheran Church in Suwanee. First let me
congratulate you for taking the time to enroll your son in Cub Scouts. We
understand that today’s families are facing greater and greater demands on their
time, but I truly believe that the Scouting program is an excellent place for
our youth to learn character development and values-based leadership training
that will give them a great start in the world. Scouting trains our children in
citizenship, service and leadership.
In this and other documents in this section we will
endeavor to answer as many of the questions asked by new and returning Cub Scout
parents as we can to help you and your son get a great start in
Scouting.
Cub Scouts is a program for families with boys,
thus Pack 608 strongly encourages family involvement. Pack activities are always
for families. Pack 608 puts on a high quality Cub Scout program, but this only
happens with parents actively involved. If you are looking for a program where
you can drop your son off for an hour a week, then Cub Scouting may not be the
best place for your family. However, if you are looking for a program that will
provide your family with opportunities to work and play together, to have fun
together, and to get to know each other better, then Pack 608 hopes you will
consider joining.
Continuing our commitment to providing a safe
environment for your boys, we are requiring all parents complete the Boy Scouts
of America online Youth Protection Training course. This course will help you
keep your children, and other children that you come in contact with, safe both
inside the Scouting program and outside. See the following link for
instructions:
