The Purposes of Cub Scouting Membership
Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (of 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purpose of Cub Scouting. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions. (The others are Boy Scouting and Venturing).
The 10 purpose of Cub Scouting are:
Cub Scouting members join a Cub Scout pack and are assigned to a den, usually a neighborhood group of six to eight boys. Tiger Cubs (first-graders), Wolf Cubs Scouts (second-grades), Bear Cub Scouts (third-graders), and Webelos Scouts (fourth and fifth-graders) meet weekly.
Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cubmaster and pack committee. the committee includes parents of the boys in the pack and members of the chartered organization.
Activities
Cub Scouting means "doing". Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting - citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness.
Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack , the most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.
