Welcome

In Cub Scouts, your child will have lots of fun, learn many new things, and develop good friendships. But Cub Scouts is so much more than that. It is fun with a purpose! Everything your child does in Cub Scouts – making crafts, participating in ceremonies, playing games and sports, earning awards, going camping, learning new skills - will be done with a purpose in mind. Specifically, the goals of Scouts BSA when incorporated in 1910 were to provide an educational program for scouts, build desirable qualities of character, train responsible citizens, and develop personal fitness.

Cub Scouting has ten purposes:

• Character Development

• Respectful Relationships

• Good Citizenship

• Spiritual Growth

• Personal Achievement

• Friendly Service

• Sportsmanship & Fitness

• Family Understanding

• Fun and Adventure

• Preparation for a Scouts BSA troop

The Cub Scouts of America colors are blue and gold. They have special meaning, which helps scouts see beyond the fun of Cub Scouting to its ultimate goals. The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer and happiness.

Who can join?

All boys and girls in K - 5th grades are welcome to join! Current scout members attend school at Benchley-Weinberger, Green, Gage and Dailard Elementary schools among other San Diego county schools.
