General Note
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. The programs of the Boys Scouts of America, Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Venturing, pursue these aims through methods designed for the age and maturity of the program participants: CUB SCOUTING: A family and home centered program for boys in the first through fifth grades (or 7, 8, 9 and 10 years old). Cub Scouting's emphasis is on quality programs at the local level, where most boys and families are involved. Fourth and fifth grade (or 10-year-old) boys are called Webelos (WE'LL BE LOyal Scouts) and participate in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts -- BOY SCOUTING: A program for boys 11 through 17, designed to achieve the aims of Scouting through a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster. (Boys also may become Boy Scouts if they have earned the Arrow of Light Award or have completed the fifth grade) -- VARSITY SCOUTING: An active, exciting program for young men 14 through 17, built around five program fields of emphasis: advancement, high adventure, personal development, service, and special programs and events -- VENTURING: Venturing is for young men and young women ages 14 through 20. It includes challenging, high-adventure activities, sports, and hobbies for teenagers that teach them leadership skills, provide opportunities to teach others, in a supportive, caring, and fun environment.
