If you have a boy or girl in kindergarten through fifth grades, or you are six to 10+ years old, then Cub Scouting is for you and your family, too. Cub Scouting is the first and the biggest of the three Scouting programs (Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting and Venturing) available through your local council of the Boy Scouts of America, the Blue Ridge Mountains Council, which covers 21 counties in Virginia. A cub scout pack is a large group of scouts. The pack is divided into smaller groups called dens. All of the Cub Scouts in a den are similar in age and live in the same area. The aim of Cub Scouting is to help scouts grow into good citizens who are strong in character and personally fit. Cub Scouting is fun with a purpose.

Don’t feel like you have to do it all… none of us can. But do pick and choose what fits your schedule and do try to be active and meet with us when you can! Our scouts always enjoy it and get so much more out of an experience when -shared with a friend.

The Blue Ridge Mountains Council with the Boy Scouts of America aims to provide a program for community organizations that offers effective character development, citizenship training and personal fitness training for youth. Troop Boy Scouting is a year-round program for boys age 11-17. Boys who are 10 may join if they have received the Arrow of Light Award or have finished the fifth grade. Boy Scouting is a program of fun outdoor activities, peer group leadership opportunities and a personal exploration of career, hobby and special interests, all designed to achieve the BSA’s objectives of strengthening character, personal fitness and good citizenship. The Blue Ridge Mountains Council has over 180 troops and 80 crews active in its council area. Join Botetourt County BSA:
