Need funny Cub Scout jokes for your den or pack meeting? Check out more 25+ hilarious jokes that are kid-friendly & Scout appropriate!

Is humor in the form of Cub Scout jokes a part of your den or pack meetings?  If not, you and your other scout leaders might want to think about incorporating it.

Humor has so many benefits for us as humans.  We've all heard that “laughter is the best medicine.”  It's hard to be stressed or angry when you're laughing!

And the benefits for kids are even greater. This PBS article outlines some of these such as higher intelligence and creativity test scores, improved language and literacy skills, and increased ability to diffuse conflict and make friends more easily.

Telling Cub Scout jokes and riddles in front of the members of your den or pack gives scouts public speaking experience.  Because public speaking is one of the top fears for many people, this experience can help lessen that fear. Public speaking is very important for your kids to pick up on to boost their confidence, develop leadership skills, and to improve their communication!

There are also some great reasons why having Cub Scout jokes and riddles at a pack meeting is important for the scouts.

However, all of this doesn't mean much to a third grade Cub Scout. The scouts just think they're funny!

My son thought this joke was hilarious.

Kevin:  What's worse than raining cats and dogs?
Devin:  I have no clue.
Kevin:  Hailing taxis.

1. Scout Life Magazine – Every month, Scout Life publishes a sections of Cub Scout jokes. I talked to one Cubmaster who told his pack that anyone who came prepared with a joke from Scout Life would get to share the joke. This accomplished 2 things in his mind. The Scouts would be sharing appropriate jokes, and they would be reading Scout Life every month.

Inevitably, the joke book is at home when I need it at the pack meeting. That's why I'm glad I have the Kindle reader app on my phone. It's a FREE app that stores any Kindle books I may have purchased such as these joke books, handbooks or leader guides. I just pull up the app, and there they are!
