What do you do when you sign up for scouts? What is the next step? Well, if you are anything like me, I was curious to see how this works. So, I looked at every single page in the Tiger Handbook. There is a pamphlet in the beginning that comes out. You the adult has to read it and go over it with your son. It talks about abuse of all kinds, including sexual/physical abuse and bullying. It teaches you how to discuss this and to teach your children about safety. Even has some websites with videos to help explain stuff to your boys. Oh, and parents, cubs scouts is a family thing. If you go camping or anything at this age with the scouts, a parent or guardian has to be present. No one leader can be alone with the boys. Parents or guardians are a must. I actually really like that! And by the way, discussing the brochure is actually a requirement for your son to get his Bobcat badge.
Also, discuss with your leaders what you can do to help. Tell them if you have a truck that can help transport supplies for Pinewood Derby or campouts. Someone crafty can make awards for competitions. Anything will help your pack.
