VALUES OF THE CUB SCOUT
Character Development
The Cub Scouts first began in 1910 so that boys could enrich their character, physical fitness, practical skills, and service. These goals are still an important part of Cub Scouting today and we strive to meet each and every one of them in our daily lives.
Cub Scouting promotes 12 Core values which provide for good character development. Character is "values in action."
