After applying to Scouts you are in the system and officially a member of scouting! Continue to go to events, learn more about scouting and advance in rank.
With your application in the system the cubmaster has a few actions to take including inviting you to ScoutBook, assigning the new cub scout to a den and sending an introductory email.
