About

Our Story 

Cub Scouts Pack 371 strives to offer a values-based youth development program for first through fifth grade children in the Bellflower community that focuses on character building, service to the community, development of a positive appreciation for the outdoors and personal fitness. We are a family-focused organization that follows the principles of the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack. We focus on personal development through fun, adventure, achievement, and hands-on learning via structured activities. We hope to establish a strong foundation that will lead to our scouts to become strong, independent, good and moral leaders for the next generation. 

Scouting Values 

In addition to the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, it is Scouting’s mission to instill in each child the values of the Scout Oath and Law:

Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best

To do my duty to God and my country

and to obey the Scout Law;

To help other people at all times;

To keep myself physically strong,

mentally awake, and morally straight.

Colors

The Cub Scouting colors are blue and gold. They have a special meaning, which will help boys see beyond the fun of Cub Scouting to its ultimate goals:

The BLUE stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above; and

The GOLD stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness.
