Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouting:
|
|
|
| The Cub Scout colors are blue and gold. They have special meaning, which will help boys see beyond the fun of Cub Scouting to its ultimate goals. The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer and happiness. | ||
| As a boy begins the Boy Scout Trail, he joins other boys his own age. He can start the scouting program at any age from 6 to 17 years old. The Cub Scout program is for 1st graders through 3rd graders - Tiger cubs, Wolf scouts, and Bear scouts. After completing Bear scout requirements, scouts begin their Webelos program. |

The Cub Scout program has an Organizational Structure that puts boys into groups called dens with recommended size of from 6 to 8 scouts. Dens of boys in a community form a pack which is part of a district. Districts combine to make a council - see this page for organization details.
The Bobcat rank is the first rank earned by cub scouts. After earning the Bobcat, a cub scout works on his Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos rank, depending on his age and grade.
These pages contain information for each specific rank:
Bobcat Info - any grade
Tiger Info - 1st graders
Wolf Info - 2nd graders
Bear Info - 3rd graders
