Cub Scouting is for boys in grades 1-5.   Boys are organized into grade specific dens.   All of the dens together make up a Pack chartered to a local organization. 

First Grade = Tiger Cubs
Second Grade = Wolf Cubs
Third Grade = Bear Cubs
Fourth Grade = 1st year Webelos (Webelos means "We'll Be Loyal Scouts")
Fifth Grade = 2nd year Webelos (5th graders move up to a Boy Scout Troop in March or April)

Fall Recruitment –
Yes a boy can join Cub Scouts at ANY time of the year. We will help find the Cub Scout Den nearest you, or one meeting on the nights you need.  Cub Scouting is great because too much fun is never enough, and because the Boy Scout movement, founded in 1910, is the best program for character development in the USA!
