The Adventure Starts Now!
The adventure starts with Cub Scouting, a year-round family
program designed for boys in the 1st through 5th grades, or seven
to 10 years of age. A boy may join at any level. Each
noncompetitive level has activities to develop the boy at that
level.
The program emphasizes shared leadership, learning about the
community, family understanding, character development, citizenship
training and personal fitness.
Young boys grow up fast. Give your son a valuable gift by
encouraging him to join Cub Scouting today. The time you invest in
him today will make a difference in the person he becomes
tomorrow.
