The Purposes of Scouting


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. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three traditional membership divisions. (The others are Boy Scouting and Venturing.)

 

The 10 purposes of Cub Scouting are:

  1. Character Development

  2. Spiritual Growth

  3. Good Citizenship

  4. Sportsmanship and Fitness

  5. Family Understanding

  6. Respectful Relationships

  7. Personal Achievement

  8. Friendly Service

  9. Fun and Adventure

  10. Preparation for Boy Scouts
