CUB SCOUTING

Ages 7-11
1st - 5th grade

 Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting.  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 nine purposes of Cub Scouting are:

  • Positively influence character development and encourage spiritual growth
  • Help boys develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship.
  • Encourage good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body
  • Improve understanding within the family
  • Strengthen boys' ability to get along with other boys and respect other people
  • Foster a sense of personal achievement by helping boys develop new interests and skills
  • Show how to be helpful and do one's best
  • Provide fun and exciting new things to do
  • Prepare boys to become Boy Scouts

The Twelve Core Values of Cub Scouting are:

  • Citizenship: Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities.
  • Compassion: Having consideration and concern for the well being of others.
  • Cooperation: working together with others toward a common goal.
  • Courage: doping what it right regardless of its difficulty.
  • Faith: Having inner strength and confidence based on our trust in God.
  • Health and Fitness: Being personally committed to care for our minds and bodies.
  • Honesty: Telling the truth and being worthy of trust.
  • Perseverance: Sticking with something and not giving up.
  • Positive Attitude: Setting our minds to look for and find the best in all situations.
  • Resourcefulness: Using human and other resources to heir fullest.
  • Respect: Showing regard for the worth of something or someone else.
  • Responsibility: Fulfilling our duty to take care of to others and ourselves.
