Our Cub Scout Pack is divided into dens of 4-12 boys. These dens are grouped by age/grade:
How to Join
Contact the Cub master or a Den Leader for an application form. Complete it and return it with a check for the appropriate amount payable to Pack 705.
When and Where do we meet?
The dens meet Bi-Monthly to work on activities and projects.
Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cub master. This meeting is held in the Gym of WUMC on the third Thursday of every month at 7:05 pm.
What we Wear
Pack 705 expects the Scouts to wear a scout shirt, kerchief, slide, and hat to Pack and Den meetings. Pack 705 T-shirts are appropriate for many scout outings.

Parent Involvement
Cub Scouting is an Adult/Child program. It is not a baby sitting service. An adult partner is expected at every meeting that the child attends. As a result of this program and with additional help at home, the Scouts can earn advancements and recognition. The success of the program greatly depends on the involvement and enthusiasm of the adult partner.
Cub Scout Advancement Plan
Many of the Pack's activities are driven by the Cub Scout Advancement Plan. The Advancement Plan Recognition gives the boys a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges. The Adult partner works with the boys on their advancement projects.
The Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub Scouting.
The Tiger Cub program is for boys who are age 7 or in 1st grade. There are five Tiger Cub achievement areas. To earn the Tiger Cub Badge, the Tiger Cub completes 15 requirements within these areas. These requirements involve indoor and outdoor activities.
The Wolf program is for boys who are age 8 or in 2nd grade. To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must complete twelve achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.
The Bear rank is for boys who are age 9 or in 3rd grade. There are 24 Bear achievements divided into four categories. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are more challenging than those for the Wolf rank.
The Webelos program is for boys who are age 10 or in 4th or 5th grade. This program prepares the boy for the transition from Webelos to Boy Scout. As he completes the Webelos requirements, he will become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements, which lead to the Arrow of Light Award.
