How Does Cub Scouting Work?
Cub Scouting is a family-oriented program designed for children from kindergarten through fifth grade. Parents and guardians play an active role in their child’s Scouting journey, providing guidance, encouragement, and support.
Each grade level has a handbook (optional) that outlines age-appropriate Adventures Scouts complete to earn badges and awards:
You can track and update your child’s progress using Scoutbook or the Scouting App (available on APPLE or Android ).
As your child grows more independent, your role naturally shifts from hands-on support to coaching and guiding their achievements. This progression helps develop confidence, responsibility, and leadership skills.
Two Levels of Cub Scouting
Cub Scouting fosters teamwork and social growth through two key levels:
- Dens: Small groups of Scouts in the same grade that meet twice a month.
- The Pack: All dens meet monthly for celebrations, activities, and achievements with family and friends.
Den Structure by Age Group
- Lions (Kindergarten) & Tigers (1st Grade): Scouts join with an adult partner. Meetings are led by a den leader with adult partners assisting.
- Wolves (2nd Grade), Bears (3rd Grade), and Webelos (4th Grade): Den leaders are supported by assistant leaders and sometimes a den chief (an older Scout mentor).
- Arrow of Light (5th Grade): Focuses on preparing Scouts to transition into Scouts BSA.
Pack Meetings & Special Events
Monthly Pack meetings bring all dens together for fun activities, games, and celebrations. Exciting annual events include:
- Pinewood Derby: Design, build, and race your own model car.
- Blue and Gold Banquet: Celebrate Cub Scouting’s birthday and cheer on 5th graders as they advance to Scouts BSA.
- Camping and Hikes: Enjoy outdoor adventures with family-friendly overnight and day camps.
- Service Projects: Help your community through food drives, holiday cards for Veterans, crafts for Seniors, and more.
- Local Events: Participate in parades, coastal cleanups, flag ceremonies, and other community activities.
Training & Youth Protection
Scouting America offers online training at my.Scouting.org to help parents and leaders succeed in their roles.
All volunteers must complete Youth Protection Training to ensure a safe environment for all Scouts. This essential training teaches adults how to recognize, respond to, and prevent potential risks. Parents are encouraged to complete this training as well. It must be renewed every two years to maintain membership.
