What is Cub Scouting?
8 Boy Scouts of America
• The Boy Scouts of America was formally organized in 1910.
• Cub Scouting was added as a full-fledged program for younger boys in 1930.
• Underlying all of Scouting’s programs are three distinct foundational goals or aims:– Character development– Citizenship training– Personal fitness
9 Boy Scouts of America
• Because boys enjoy being a part of small groups, which are very effective learning environments, Cub Scouts are divided into groups called dens, which are usually organized by school grade. Ideally, dens consist of between six and eight boys.
• The dens come together to form a larger group called a pack.
• Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book is used as a fun theme to tie the program together.
