About Cub Scouts




Membership

Boys in first through fifth grade can join Cub Scouts.  Boys join a Pack and are then assigned to a den. A den is a group of 8-10 boys. Tiger Cub Scouts are those in first grade, Wolf Cub Scouts are boys in second grade, Bear Cub Scouts are in third grade and Webelos Scouts are in fourth and fifth grades.



Activities & Events

Cub Scouting is an active program. Boys learn by doing, and there's no end to the fun things that Cub Scouts do in their dens, as a pack, and at special events. With activities held at every level—family, den, and pack—Cub Scouting provides a year-round program of fun and learning for boys and their families.


Cub Scout Camping

Learn to live in the outdoors. Camping takes you on exciting adventures into the natural world.


Cub Scout Derbies

Racing in a Cub Scout derby is great fun. You'll get to design your racing vehicle, work with a parent to build it, and see it perform on race day.


Outings and Field Trips

"Outing" is a big part of Scouting. Cub Scouts get out and about with many kinds of outdoor fun, such as field trips, hikes, nature and conservation.


Service Projects

Doing service projects together is one way that Cub Scouts keep their promise "to help other people."


Den and Pack Meetings

Den meetings are the stepping-stones by which a boy progresses through the Cub Scout program. At pack meetings, families celebrate their achievements along the way.


Blue and Gold Banquets

In February, when Scouting celebrates its "birthday," packs across the country hold blue and gold banquets. In nearly all packs, the banquet is a very special event.
