What
Is Cub Scouts?
In 1930 the Boy Scouts of America launched a home- and neighborhood-centered
program for boys 9 to 11 years of age. A key element of the
program is an emphasis on caring, nurturing relationships between
boys and their parents, adult leaders, and friends. Currently,
Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions.
(The others are Boy Scouting and Venturing.)
