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 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age).
Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to
achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting.
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.
 The 10 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
