What Is Cub Scouting?
The Purposes of Cub Scouting
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. Currently, Cub Scouting
is the largest of the BSA´s three membership divisions. (The
others are Boy Scouting and Venturing.)
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 |

Membership
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).
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.

Volunteer Leadership
Thousands of volunteer leaders, both men and women, are involved in the
Cub Scout program. They serve in a variety of positions, as everything
from unit leaders to pack committee chairmen, committee members, den
leaders, and chartered organization representatives.
Like other phases of the Scouting program, a Cub Scout pack belongs to
an organization with interests similar to those of the BSA. This organization,
which might be a church, school, community organization, or group of
interested citizens, is chartered by the local BSA council to use the
Scouting program. This chartered organization provides a suitable meeting
place, adult leadership, supervision, and opportunities for a healthy
Scouting life for the boys under its care. Each organization appoints
one of its members as a chartered organization representative. The organization,
through the pack committee, is responsible for providing leadership,
the meeting place, and support materials for pack activities.

Advancement Plan
Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scouting advancement
plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement
as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family
members work with boys on advancement projects.
Tiger Cub. The Tiger Cub program is for first-grade (or age 7) boys and
their adult partners. There are five Tiger Cub achievement areas. The
Tiger Cub, working with his adult partner, completes 15 requirements
within these areas to earn the Tiger Cub badge. These requirements consist
of an exciting series of indoor and outdoor activities just right for
a boy in the first grade.
