Cub Scout Pack 155 is committed to helping our scouts grow up into self-reliant, dependable and caring young men. Since 1910 the Boy Scouts of American (BSA) has been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities that were designed to build character, physical fitness, practical skills, and service. These elements continue to be a part of Cub Scouting today.
Character development should extend into every aspect of a boys life and as such it should also extend into every aspect of Cub Scouting. Character development should also challenge Cub Scouts to experience core values in six general areas: God, world, country, community, family, and self. With character defined as the collection of core values by an individual that leads to moral commitment and action; Cub Scout Pack 155 strives to use the 12 core values of Cub Scouting:
- Citizenship: Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities.
- Compassion: Being kind and considerate, and showing concern for the well-being of others.
- Cooperation: Being helpful and working together with others toward a common goal.
- Courage: Being brave and doing what is right regardless of our fears, how hard it is or what the consequences may be.
- Faith: Having inner strength or confidence based on our trust in God.
- Health and fitness: Being personally committed to keeping our minds and bodies clean and fit.
- Honesty: Telling the truth and being a person worthy of trust.
- Perseverance: Sticking with something and not giving up; even if it is difficult.
- Positive attitude: Being cheerful and setting our minds to look for and find the best in all situations.
- Resourcefulness: Using human and other resources to their fullest.
- Respect: Showing regard for the worth of someone or something.
- Responsibility: Fulfilling our duty to God, country, other people, and ourselves.
