DO YOUR BEST. HAVE FUN DOING IT.
The best way to find out what you do best is to do it. Throw a football. Catch a fish. Ride a bike. Set up a tent. Build a pinewood derby car. Cub Scouting offers kids the opportunity to see and learn fun, new things that can’t be found anywhere else.
Cub Scouts are at that magical age where everything is new and possible and, most important, fun. They build things. Play with purpose. Make friends and work together. The life lessons learned here not only transform today’s Cub Scouts into tomorrow’s Scouts BSA, but also help form a foundation to embrace opportunity and overcome obstacles in life.
- Cub Scouts is open to all kids from Kindergarten through 5th grade.
- Join in on your child’s adventure and become an adult leader!
