About Cub Scouts

When you’re a kid, fun comes first. Final exams, drivers ed, and summer jobs will arrive soon enough. Cub Scouts lets kids have fun while teaching them skills that will help them later on.

From the thrill of shooting an arrow to learning how to transform a block of wood into a race car, Cub Scouts is one thrill after another. With a program tailored to match each age in a young person's life, Cub Scouts learn that even when fun isn’t easy, it is always an adventure. In Scouting, everything has a purpose. And it shows kids that doing their best is the most fun of all.
