Welcome to Pack 440! Cub Scouts is a great few years of fun for your boy, and our job is to make it as fun for parents as well. Come join us this year as we strive to teach our boys the character traits and qualities that Boy Scouts have taught for the last 100 years.
This site is meant to be a place where you can get the latest news and information, plan your calendar, see some photos, and cheer on your sons. If you have any questions about a particular item, feel free to leave a comment for us.
We are glad that you're here with us, take some time to look around and even better, take time to get to know your den leadership. They are volunteering their time, and any help you can give would be greatly appreciated - by them and by your boy.

Outdoor Code
As an American, I will do my best to be clean in my outdoor manners, be careful with fire, be considerate in the outdoors, and be conservation-minded.
As a Webelos Scout, you'll hike and camp out. As a Boy Scout, you'll be outdoors a lot more often. The Outdoor Code is a guide all Scouts use.
Be clean in my outdoor manners
I will treat the outdoors as a heritage. I will take care of it for myself and others. I will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes, streams, fields, woods, and roadways.
Be careful with fire
I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fires only where appropriate. When I have finished using fire, I will make sure it is cold-out. I will leave a clean fire ring or remove all evidence of my fire.
Be considerate in the outdoors
I will treat public and private property with respect. I will use low-impact methods of hiking and camping.
Be conservation-minded
I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. I will urge others to do the same.

Scout Handshake
The Scout handshake is made with the hand nearest the heart and is offered as a token of friendship. Extend your left hand to another Scout and firmly grasp his left hand. The fingers do not interlock.
The difference between Cub Scouts and Boy Scout handshake? Your two fingers touch the wrist vs. no fingers extended.
Scout Salute
The Scout salute shows respect. Use it to salute the flag of the United States of America. You may also salute a Scout leader or another Scout.
Give the Scout salute by forming the Scout sign with your right hand and then bringing that hand upsard until your forefinger touches the brim of your hat or the arc of your right eyebrow. The palm of your hand should not show.
The differences between Cub Scouts and Boy Scout salute? Two fingers vs. three fingers.

Scout Sign
The Scout sign shows you are a Scout. Give it each time you recite the Scout Oath and Law. When a Scout or Scouter raises the Scout sign, all Scouts should make the sign, too, and come to silent attention.
To give the Scout sign, cover the nail of your little finger of your right hand with your right thumb, then raise your right arm bent in a 90-degree angle, and hold the three middle fingers of your hand upward. Those fingers stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. Your thumb and little finger touch to represent the bond that unites Scouts throughout the world.
The differences between the Cub Scout and Boy Scout signs? Two fingers vs. three fingers; arm straight up in the air vs. bent at an angle.

Scout Slogan
Do a Good Turn Daily
Don't do just one good turn during the day and stop! This means you do at least one good turn a day. It means looking for chances to help and then helping quietly, without boasting about it.
Always remember that a Good Turn is an extra act of kindness, something you go out of your way to do.
