What is Cub Scouts?
The main goal of Cub Scouts is to build character, foster citizenship, develop personal fitness, and instill leadership skills in young children (K-5th grade) through fun, family-oriented activities that teach core values like honesty, respect, and helpfulness, preparing them for future success and Scouts BSA.
They achieve this through earning badges, engaging in outdoor adventures, and positive group interactions, emphasizing "doing your best".
The mission of Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
The Aims of Scouting are:
Character, Citizenship, Personal Fitness, and Leadership
LIVING THE IDEALS
Cub Scouting’s values are embedded in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Cub Scout motto, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, and salute. These practices help establish and reinforce the program’s values in Scouts and the leaders who guide them.
BELONGING TO A DEN
The den is ideally a group of six to eight children who are in the same grade. It is the place where Cub Scouting starts. In the den, Cub Scouts develop new skills and interests, practice sportsmanship and good citizenship, and learn to do their best, not just for themselves but for the den as well.
ACTIVITIES
Cub Scouts participate in a huge array of activities, including games, projects, skits, stunts, songs, outdoor activities, trips, and service projects. Besides being fun, these activities offer opportunities for growth, achievement, and family involvement.
SERVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Cub Scouting focuses on the home and neighborhood. It helps Scouts strengthen connections to their local communities, which in turn supports their growth and development.
