What is The Cub Scouts
Cub Scouting is a Scouting program that is a part of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). It is open to some boys from first through fifth-grade, usually aged 7–10 years of age and their families. Its membership is the largest of the three BSA Divisions (Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing).

Why Join the Cub Scouts?
In 1930, the Boy Scouts of America created a new opportunity called Cub Scouting for boys younger than Boy Scout age. A year-round, home-centered program used by chartered organizations, Cub Scouting emphasizes involvement between boys and their parents, adult leaders, and friends. In the multidimensional plan of the Boy Scouts of America, Cub Scouting is where it all begins.
