Cub Scouts is a year-round family program designed for
boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7,
8, 9, and 10 years of age). In Cub Scouting, boys and
their families share fun and adventure in a program that
builds character and instills important values. These values
are reinforced throughout the Cub Scout program— while
the Scouts are having a great time with their friends and
families. Cub Scouting also provides the opportunity for
family members to work and play together, to have fun
together, and to get to know each other a little better.
Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to help
boys achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. The 10

Every boy receives a car kit that he can use to design and build his own "grand prix" car to enter into the race. The cars are powered by gravity and run down a regulation indoor track. Many awards and certificates are awarded throughout the race, including trophies for the best overall racing times. |

Once a boy joins Cub Scouts, he is assigned to a den- a
group of six to eight boys in the same grade level. Tiger
Cubs (first-graders) Wolf Cub Scouts (second-graders),
Bear Cub Scouts (third-graders) and Webelos (fourth- and
fifth-graders) meet weekly.
Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather
for a pack meeting in place of the regular den meeting.
In addition to weekly den meetings and monthly pack
meetings, there are many other special scout events.
