Cub Scout Program Changes

Major updates to the Cub Scout program were recently announced via Cub Chat Live on Facebook. Since it was officially launched in 1930, the Cub Scout program has undergone regular updates and improvements to keep it relevant with our youth. One thing, however, has never changed. It’s always been based on the values of Scouting — to prepare youth in America to become a responsible, participating citizen and leader.
