What is Cub Scouting?

Cub Scouts is the Scouting program boys and girls who are in Kindergarten through fifth grade (or five through ten years of age).

Cub Scout packs consist of children, families, leaders, and chartered organizations who all work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouts:

Character Development
Spiritual Growth
Good Citizenship
Sportsmanship
Family Understanding
Respectful Relationships
Personal Achievements
Friendly Service

Cub Scouts emphasizes a year-round, home-centered program at the local level than helps to strengthen the family. Cub Scouts – including Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos Scouts – is the largest of BSA’s programs. The other programs, for older youth, include Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Exploring.
