WHAT IS SCOUTING?
Scouting, also known as Scout Movement, is a worldwide youth movement with the aim of supporting young people in their physical, mental and spiritual development, so that they may play constructive roles in society.
THE PROGRAM
Cub Scouts Pack 610 is a unit in Liên Đoàn Lạc Việt (LDLV), a multi-level scouting unit consisting of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Ventures. LDLV was formed in October 2006 and chartered by Our Lady of La Vang Church. Pack 610 consists of boys from 6 to 11 year-old, or from 1st to 5th grade. The Cub Scout program runs year-round and emphasizes involvement between boys, parents, adult leaders.
