Fun with a purpose — helping children in Kindergarten through 5th grade build character, make friends, and grow into tomorrow's leaders.
A program of the Scouting America focused on children in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Through Packs and Dens, Scouts develop values, learn new skills, and have a great time doing it.
To prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
On my honor I will do my best; to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
The Scout Oath, Law, motto, sign, and handshake reinforce core values in every Scout and leader.
Grade-level dens are where friendships form and Scouts learn sportsmanship and good citizenship.
Earning badges gives Scouts a sense of achievement and brings families closer together.
Families are a vital part of Cub Scouting — providing leadership, support, and shared experiences.
Games, outdoor adventures, service projects, and more offer fun and meaningful growth opportunities.
Community focus helps Scouts build local connections and a strong sense of civic responsibility.
