Cub Scouts

Tiger Cub Addison Hjelm, Wolf Cub Annaya Bhalla, Bear Cub Amelia Cables and Cubmaster Donn Lovell as the Cub Scouts of San Mateo’s Pack 458 were the first pack to welcome the new scouts in at their annual advancement and bridging ceremony. In October 2017, the Boy Scouts of America announced it would begin accepting girls into the Cub Scouts starting June 2018. Lovell said, ‘It is a great year for our pack and scouting, our pack is celebrating its 60th anniversary and it is about time for this change because for years the sisters of Cub Scouts were always camping and going on field trips with us, so now they are officially scouts.’ Lovell who was Cub Scout in the same pack he now leads has seen many changes in his over 40 years since bridging to Boy Scouts and says this is a move in the right direction. As one cub scout said, "with my sister now joining it is only going to get funner."
