What is Cub Scouts?

Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting, a family- and home-centered program for boys in the first through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years old). Cub Scouting's emphasis is on a quality, year-round family program at the local level, where the most boys and families are involved. Fourth- and fifth-grade (or 10-year-old) boys are called Webelos (WE'll BE LOyal Scouts) and participate in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts.

Parents, leaders, boys, friends, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions (the others are Boy Scouting and Venturing) and Cub Scouting is where it all begins.

Why Join 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

  8. Friendly Service
  9. Fun and Adventure
  10. Preparation for Boy Scouts
