The Origins of Cub Scouting. Cub Scouting was first organized in 1930, when the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) realized that not every boy in the United States was experiencing the fun of scouting. For years, boy's too young to join the Scouting movement - younger brothers, neighbors and friends - were tagging along on campouts, service projects, and other fun-filled activities with older scouts but not reaping the full benefits of being Boy Scouts.
To accommodate this younger generation of motivated boy's, the BSA created Cub Scouting. An exciting and adventurous program coupled with skills and values development for younger boys, Cub Scouting became an instant hit.
Today, Cub Scouting provides more than two million boys from all backgrounds with healthy doses of constructive fun and an underlying emphasis on traditional values and service. Cub Scouting enrollment is open year round, so that you can join anytime. However, the start of school is the most popular times to sign up.

Council (CT Yankee Council).
