Cub Scout

12 Core Values

 

As a parent, you want your son to grow up to be a person of worth, self-reliant, dependable and caring individual. Scouting has these same goals in mind for him. Since 1910 we have been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to assist parents in strengthening character, good citizenship, and physical fitness in youth.

 

Scouting is family values! At the same time Cub Scout-age boys don’t join Scouting just to get their character built.

 

Boys join because it is fun!!
