The purpose of the Light of Christ program is to help Tiger and Wolf Cubs develop a personal relationship with Jesus. With the parents' active assistance and participation in this program, it is hoped that the Cub will come to see Jesus as a real person and his friend.

The purpose of the Parvuli Dei program is to help Bear Cubs and Webelos Scouts explore a wide range of activities in order to discover the presence of God in their daily lives as members of their families and parishes, and also to develop a good, positive self-image through the contributions they can make to the group or community.
