Scouting
Cub Scouts do fun things
with other kids! They get to wear a cool uniform, go
places and see things. They play all kinds of
sports and build things, like race cars, rockets and
bird houses. Want to learn a secret code? Want to
learn about wild animals? Go Cub Scouting!
In short, Scouting is a
youth organization that uses a fun program to promote
character development, citizenship training, and mental
and physical fitness for every member.
The Boy Scouts of America
makes Scouting available to our nation's youth by
chartering community organizations to operate cub scout
packs, Boy Scout troops, Varsity Scout Teams, and
Explorer Posts. The chartered organization must provide
an adequate and safe meeting place and capable adult
leadership, and must adhere to the principles and
policies of the BSA. The BSA local Council provides
unit leader training, program ideas, camping facilities,
literature, and professional guidance for volunteer
leaders.
Scouting adult volunteers
provide leadership at the unit, district, council and
national levels. Many are parents of scouts and many of
them entered scouting as youth members themselves.
