Cub Scouting is for boys ages 7 to 10 who are in the first through fifth grade. Boys older than 10 years of age or who have completed the fifth grade can no longer join the cub scout but are welcome to join the Boy Scouts or Venturing Program.

The scouts work towards achieving Ranks. There are four ranks in Cub Scouts

1. Tiger Cub

2. Wolf

3. Bear

4. Webelos I and II

Cub Scouting is a wonderful activity for your son to belong to. He will learn many useful skills and gain knowledge that will help shape who he becomes in the future.

It is also a wonderful time for parents or guardians to spend time with their son participating in fun and challenging activities such as camping, Pinewood Derby, Raingutter Regatta, and the Space Derby.
