Why Join Scouting?

In 1930, the Boy Scouts of America created a new opportunity called Cub Scouting for boys younger than Boy Scout age. A year-round, family-oriented program utilized by chartered organizations, for boys who are in first through fifth grades. Cub Scouting emphasizes involvement between boys, their parents, adult leaders, friends, and community members. In the multidimensional plan of the Boy Scouts of America, Cub Scouting is where the Scouting experience begins.

Cub Scouting has the following purposes:

• Influences a boy's character development and spiritual growth.
• Develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship.
• Encourage sportsmanship and pride.

• Strengthen a boy's ability to interact with others.

• Show a boy how to be helpful and do his best.
• Provide fun and exciting new things to do.
