THE PURPOSES OF CUB SCOUTING 

Cub Scouting is a year-round, family-oriented part of the Scouting America. The program is  designed for youth who are in kindergarten through fifth grade (or are 6-10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the 10 purposes of Cub Scouting: • Character Development • Spiritual Growth • Good Citizenship • Sportsmanship and Fitness • Family Understanding • Respectful Relationships • Personal Achievement • Friendly Service • Fun and Adventure • Preparation to join a Scout troop All the activities leaders plan and Cub Scouts enjoy should relate to one or more of these purposes.
