Young people encouraged to explore opportunities in scouting
The Boy Scouts of America, Great Rivers Council, Osage Trails District, is encouraging area boys in grades one through five to join one of America’s largest youth programs — Cub Scouts.
According to a news release from the Great Rivers Council, Cub Scouting is a year-round educational program that can help families teach their children a wholesome system of values and beliefs while building and strengthening relationships among family members.
It also is an active program where boys learn new skills by participating in a variety of activities from camping, hiking and building pinewood derby cars to earning badges and awards to advance in rank, the release stated.
All of the activities done through Cub Scouting help achieve the program’s overall aims of character development, personal fitness and citizenship training.
