Participants engage in social action projects, learn about the Jewish holidays in different ways and enjoy Judaism through the arts.

Cub Scout activities encourage character development, physical coordination, family unity and enthusiasm for learning. Traditional Scouting activities include Pinewood Derbies, camping trips, hiking and other interesting, fun outings. Through the local Council's Jewish Committee on Scouting, our Cub Scouts also earn religious emblems they wear on their uniforms and may attend an annual Kinnus (Jewish Scouting's Religious Retreat) among other Jewish-oriented events.
