Pack 109 has been providing an excellent scouting program for more than 50 years.  We are chartered by Seton Catholic School in Moline. Illinois.  Pack 109 is a member of the Illowa Council of the Boy Scouts of America. We are in the council's Saukenuk District.

Cub Scouting is a year-round family oriented program for boys in first through fifth grades.  Most of our scouts come from Seton Catholic and Lincoln-Irving Schools, but boys from any school are welcome.

We hold pack meetings on the fourth Monday of every month during the school year.  Pack meetings are held for all the cub scouts in the pack and their families.  Each of our dens will hold from two to four den meetings every month.  The den meetings are just for the scouts.  Our program is run by an enthusiastic group of parent volunteers who organize a variety of fun activities throughout the year.

Purpose of Cub Scouting 

Cub Scouting is for parents, leaders, and organizations to use with boys in the first through fifth grade (or 7 -10 years of age) for the purpose of:

• Helping build character and encouraging spiritual growth.
• Developing habits and attitudes of good citizenship.
• Encouraging good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body.
• Improving understanding within the family.
• Strengthening the ability to get along with other boys and respect other people.
• Fostering a sense of personal achievement by developing new interests and skills.
• Showing how to be helpful and to do one's best.
• Preparing them to become Boy Scouts

PURPOSE:  The Boy Scouts of America created Cub Scouting in 1930 to help advance the character development and spiritual growth of young boys. This central mission of Cub Scouting might be even more important to boys growing up in the 2000s than it was for the first Cub Scouts more than 75 years ago.

PROGRAM:  Local Cub Scouting activities involve the parents, adult leaders, and friends of Cub Scouts in home-centered programs that teach life skills, habits, values, and attitudes consistent with the interests of their church and community. Millions of boys and their families participate in Cub Scouting, the largest of the three Boy Scouts of America membership divisions.

METHODS: Cub Scouting encourages each boy to strive for his personal best, a lesson that will help him achieve success as he enters Boy Scouting - and through­out his adult life. Cub Scout activities encourage character development, physical coordination, family unity, and enthusiasm for learning. Cub Scouting helps boys develop a sense of teamwork, achievement, self-confidence, and respect for others. Learning to master new skills helps the Cub Scout realize his own abilities and discover that his can-do attitude is the first sign of suc­cess in any endeavor. In fact, that's the Cub Scout motto:

DO YOUR BEST!
