Scouts Information
Introduced by the Boy Scouts of America in 1930,
but its roots go all the way back to the first days of Scouting.
With the early success of the Boy Scouts for boys 12 and over,
there was popular demand for a "younger boy program"
for the siblings of Scouts. Because of concerns that a younger
boy program might have a negative effect on the fledgling Boy
Scouts program, the BSA was very careful in their dealings with
this younger boy problem.
In 1916, Sir Robert Baden-Powell introduced the "Wolf
Cub" program for younger boys. This program soon found
its way to numerous communities in the Americas. There were
also other younger boy organizations such as the "Little
Lodge" of the "Woodcraft Indians," the "Boy
Pioneers," and the "Boy Rangers." Some BSA Boy
Scout Troops were also sponsoring unofficial "Junior Troops"
and "Cadet Corps." Finally, after 20 years of Boy
Scouting in America, "Cubbing" was introduced! What
has followed has been nothing short of phenomenal! Boasting
over 50,000,000 members since its inception, no program in history
has had the far ranging impact on American youth than Cubbing
and Cub Scouting have!
