The Foundations of Scouting
The Foundations of Scouting
For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.
Cub Scouting was developed in 1930 as a year-round family program designed for all children who are in Kindergarten through fifth grade (or 6, 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 Scouting America`s membership divisions. (The others being Scouts BSA, Sea Scouts, Venturing and Exploring.)
