Cub Scouting is for boys in the
first through fifth grades, or 7 to 10 years of age. Boys who are older
than 10, or who have completed the fifth grade, can no longer join Cub
Scouting, but they may be eligible to join the Boy Scouting or Venturing
program. |
| Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It 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). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. |

 |
Cub Scouting members join a Cub Scout pack and are assigned to a den, usually a neighborhood group of six to eight boys.
Dens of Tiger Cubs (first-graders), Wolf Cub Scouts (second-graders), Bear Cub Scouts (third-graders), and Webelos Scouts (fourth- and fifth-graders)
usually meet weekly to do crafts and projects and work on their
advancement through Cub ranks and Academics and Sports belt
loops and pins.
For information on Cub Advancement, see our Advancement
page. |
|
Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cubmaster and pack committee. The committee includes parents of boys in the pack and members of the chartered organization.
At Pack meetings, Cubs receive the advancement awards they've
earned since the last meeting, and take part in ceremonies,
activities and games.
The Pinewood Derby is a favorite activity
for Cub Scouts
 |
|
Cubs build and race their own Pinewood Derby cars
|
Cubs can also build and race boats in the Raingutter Regatta
|
| Cub Scouts can attend a variety of camps and weekend events,
usually with an adult partner. There are several Cub Adventure
Weekends each year, in which the Cubs take part in games and
activities on a fun theme. Every summer there are Cub Day Camps
at a number of locations around the District and Council, and
also overnight Resident Camps at Camp Barton on Cayuga Lake and
Camp Tuscarora in Deposit. |
|
Our 2011 Resident Camp was at the Gold Rush - see
here for pictures.
See our District Scrapbook page
to see more pictures of the fun our Cubs had at Cub Weekends and
Camps over the last few years. |
Our 2012 Cub Camp will be The Hunt for the Barton Grail!
Watch the Baden-Powell
Council Camping Page for information.
