Cub Scouts (1st-5th grade) (6-10 Years old)
A family and home centered program for boys in the first through fifth grade (or 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 years old). Cub Scouting's emphasis is on quality programs at the local level, where the most boys and families are involved. Tiger Cubs is a school-year program for first-grade (they must be under the age of 8, have completed kindergarten or be in the first grade, or be age 7) boys and their adult partners that stresses simplicity, shared leadership, learning about the community, and family understanding. Each boy/adult team meets for family activities, then once or twice a month all the teams meet for Tiger Cub group activities. Fourth and fifth grade (or 10-year-old) boys, called Webelos, participate in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts.

Boy Scouts(Completed 5th Grade) (11-17 Years old)
Boy Scouts get away from it all! They camp, hike, and fish in the great outdoors. They get together in troops, and try out new experiences. Boy Scouting is available to boys who are 11 through 17 years old, or who have earned the Arrow of Light Award, and/or have completed the fifth grade.

Venturing (Completed 8th Grade) (14-20 Years old)
Venturing offers a program that is a fun-filled challenge and adventure for young men and women who are 14 (and have, at minimum, completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age. Learn more about high adventure, sports, arts and hobbies, youth ministries, and Sea Scouting crews.
