​much more.

FAQ: Joining Cub Scouting


​How old (or young) does a child need to be to join the Cub Scouts?
Cub Scouting is for children in Kindergarten and first through fifth grades, or 5 to 10 years of age. Children who are older than 10, or who have completed the fifth grade, can no longer join Cub Scouting, but they may be eligible to join the Boy Scouting or Venturing program.

How can I become an adult volunteer in Cub Scouting?
Express your interest to the pack leaders—the Cubmaster, chartered organization representative, or members of the unit committee. They can help you understand the process and guide you on areas where the pack needs support. All packs welcome parent help.

Must I be a U.S. citizen to join Cub Scouting?
Citizenship is not required of youth or adults to become members of the Boy Scouts of America.

If you live outside the United States and are not a U.S. citizen, it may be more beneficial to join the Scouting association in your own nation. The World Organization of the Scout Movement provides contact information for all national Scouting organizations on its Web site at www.scout.org .
