What Is Cub Scouting?
If you are a boy in first grade through fifth grade—or you're 7 to 10 years old—then Cub Scouting is for you. It's for your family, too. This is the first and the largest of the three Scouting programs (Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing) from the Boy Scouts of America.
Cub Scouts belong to Packs and Dens. The Pack is divided into smaller groups called Dens. The six to eight Cub Scouts in a Den are in the same grade level.
The Cub Scout Pack is chartered by a church, school, or community or neighborhood organization. This group makes sure your Pack has good adult leaders, a place to meet, and exciting things to do. The group gets help from the Boy Scouts of America, which is part of Scouting around the world.
