One of the things that a new Cub Scout learns is the Law of the
Pack, which simply outlines the Cub Scout's, and his family's,
responsibilities within the Cub Scouting community.
The Cub Scout promise helps the Cub Scout develop a sense of
spiritual awareness, loyalty, unselfishness, self-discipline, and
service to others.
Pack 1040 is chartered by Grace Presbyterian Church in Houston,
Texas, and serves 1st through 5th grade boys in Grace School, Askew
Elementary School, and other neighborhood schools. Pack 1040 was
started 30 years ago and currently has over 100 Scouts organized
into Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear and Webelos.
Goals
We will offer a high quality program to all boys in grades one
through five. Our sons will advance in rank each year, beginning
with Tiger Cubs and continuing through the Arrow of Light in fifth
grade. We will encourage our boys to continue the fun, adventure
and development of Scouting by graduating into a Boy Scout Troop.
We hope each of our Scouts will continue to advance in the Scouting
program, not because of the badge of rank they will earn but
because of what they will learn about themselves, their families,
others, God and their country.
Values
The primary values we seek to instill are contained in 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". Our Scouts,
families, adult leaders and volunteers work together to teach these
values by:
Influencing each Scout's character development and spiritual
growth
Developing habits and attitudes of good citizenship
Encouraging good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind
and body
Improving understanding and communication within the family
Strengthening skills in getting along with and respecting
others
Fostering a sense of personal achievement by developing new
interests and skills
Providing fun and exciting things to do
Showing each Scout how to "do your best"
Preparing each Cub Scout to become a Boy Scout
