What is Cub Scouting?
Cub
Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of
young boys and their parents. The program offers fun and challenging
activities that promote character development and physical fitness.
Service projects, ceremonies, games, and other activities guide boys
through the core values and give them a sense of personal achievement.
Through positive peer group interaction and parental guidance, boys also
learn honesty, bravery, and respect. Family involvement is an
essential part of Cub Scouting and parents are encouraged to play an
active role in the program. Through interaction between parents,
leaders, and friends, boys learn citizenship, compassion, and courage.
This family and community-centered approach to learning means that Cub
Scouting is truly time well spent.
