Cub Scout Program Even More Exciting!

Where does the fun in Scouting start? At camp, doing community service, playing cool games, or maybe learning how to track an animal. Yes, it is surely all there but where it really starts is in the Family. Scouting is about family and Cub Scouting is where family and excitement come together. To help keep the "magic of Scouting" even more exciting the Cub Scout program has developed a new approach for delivering the Cub Scout Program. The program itself has not change but the approach in delivering the program will be more exciting for the boys, meeting plans are geared to fun and learning, and the pack will be able to have a common plan that will in turn keep the boys interested and having fun. It is an exciting time for the boys and as leaders, there are more tools that will help make learning fun!

The Scout Shop has the new copy of The Den and Pack Resource Guide available. To lean more about the program and the exciting fun go to your Roundtables and District Committee meeting or contact the Council Training Chairman. Fun for the boys, fun for the leaders, and fun for the parents is just a few strokes away. Learn all about it with the link below:

The Mission of the Rocky Mountain Council

To prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

The Vision of the Rocky Mountain Council

The Boy Scouts of America is the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training.

In the future Scouting will continue to

  • Offer young people responsible fun and adventure;
  • Instill in young people lifetime values and develop in them ethical character as expressed in the Scout Oath and Law;
  • Train young people in citizenship, service, and leadership;
  • Serve America's communities and families with its quality, values-based program

Rocky Mountain Council - The Future

From the vast expanses of the windswept high plains to the highest peaks in Colorado, the  Rocky Mountain Council of the Boy Scouts of America provides program services to 30,233 square miles of southern Colorado. The council partners with over 100 chartered partner organizations, delivering the Scouting program to more than 5,000 youth through 167 Scouting units in 19 counties of Southern Colorado, including:  Alamosa, Baca, Bent, Chaffee, Conejos, Costilla, Crowley, Custer, Fremont, Huerfano, Kiowa, Lake, Las Animas, Mineral, Otero, Prowers, Pueblo, Rio Grande, and Saguache Counties.

The Significance and use of the 2009 - 2013 Strategic Plan
This Strategic Plan will guide the Council Executive Board, all volunteer Scouters with the Council and all active supporters of the Scouting movement in the Council for the next five years. The plan provides the monthly reporting base for the Executive Board Vice-Presidents and should serve to measure our success in achieving these goals.

Strategic Plan Acknowledgements
This plan was developed by the Rocky Mountain Council Board Vice-Presidents and many District and Council volunteers. We wish to acknowledge their efforts for which the Council owes a debt of gratitude. Thanks to you all!
