About Scouting
Boy
Scouts of America,
incorporated on February 8, 1910, and chartered by
Congress in 1916, is to provide an educational program for boys and
young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities
of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness.
Tiger Cubs
- A
school-year program for first-grade (or 6-year-old) boys and their
adult partners that stresses simplicity, shared leadership, learning
about the community, and family understanding. Each boy/adult team
meets for family activities, then once or twice a month all the teams
meet for Tiger Cub group activities.
Cub
Scouting
- A family and home centered program for boys in the second through
fifth grade (or 7-10 years old). Cub Scouting's emphasis is
on quality program at the local level, where the most boys and families
are involved. Scouts advance from Bobcat,
to Wolf,
to Bear
(from first to third grade). Fourth- and fifth-grade (or 9 and 10-year-old)
boys are called Webelos
(WE'll BE LOyal Scouts) and participate in more advanced activities
that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts.
