CUB SCOUTS

 

Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting.

 

The ten purposes of Cub Scouting are:

 

  1.          Character Development
  2.          Spiritual Growth
  3.          Good Citizenship
  4.          Sportsmanship and Fitness
  5.          Family Understanding
  6.          Respectful Relationships
  7.          Personal Achievement
  8.          Friendly Service
  9.          Fun and Adventure
  10.          Preparation for Boy Scouts

 

Cub Scouting members join a Cub Scout pack and are assigned to a den, usually a neighborhood group of six to eight boys. Tiger Cubs (first-graders), Wolf Cub Scouts (second-graders), Bear Cub Scouts (third-graders) and Webelos Scouts (fourth- and fifth-graders) meet weekly.

 

Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cubmaster and pack committee. The committee includes parents of boys in the pack and members of the chartered organization.
