General Statement of Purpose

North Carolina Cub Scout Pack 97 is a chartered organization made up of parents and families who believe the Cub Scout program helps develop the boys of today into the leaders of tomorrow.

These bylaws within shall govern Pack 97, except where the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) policies shall supersede them.

The Pack will attempt to help each boy become a better citizen, and grow mentally and physically, by employing and executing the program of Cub Scouting as outlined by BSA. This includes teaching responsibility and good moral character to our scouts. In all things we will strive to fulfill the Cub Scout Promise, “… to do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, to help other people and to obey the law of the Pack”.

We believe Cub Scouting is a family activity and that parental involvement is an integral part of a strong, organized Pack. It is the responsibility of the parents and leaders to ensure that the Pack grows and prospers for the benefit of its current and future members.

The ten purposes of Cub Scouting are:

1.   Character Development

2.   Spiritual Growth

3.   Good Citizenship

4.   Sportsmanship and Fitness

5.   Family Understanding

6.   Respectful Relationships

7.   Personal Achievement

8.   Friendly Service

9.   Fun and Adventure

10.  Preparation for Boy Scouts
