FOR YOUR WHOLE FAMILY
Big fun begins
with Cub Scouts.
For most families, the Scouting adventure begins with Cub Scouts. Children can join in any grade from kindergarten through fifth grade.
Try archery, explore outdoors, and discover new skills together. Cub Scouts combines hands-on adventures and friendships with family involvement along the way.
Your child’s safety comes first
Trained leaders, required background checks, and rules designed to protect youth help provide a safe, welcoming Scouting experience.
Real adventures.
Lasting growth.
Outdoor challenges, shared goals, and new skills give children room to grow.
Adventure in
the great outdoors
From paddling a canoe to exploring wooded trails, Scouts experience the outdoors, try new challenges, and discover what they can do together.
Friendship
through teamwork
Shared challenges teach Scouts to listen, encourage each other, and work toward a common goal—building friendships through teamwork along the way.
Confidence
through new skills
From water safety to an introduction to scuba, Scouts learn to use equipment, practice new skills, and build confidence as they discover what they can do.
GROWING TOGETHER

Values put into practice

Scouting in their own words
Experiences that stay with them.
“I will always remember all the great times I had with my troop and the great adventures I was able to have because of Scouting. The 10 years of Scouting will always be the greatest moments in my life and the failures and successes along the way have only shaped me to become the individual I am today.”
