Beavers are from five to seven years old, usually in kindergarten, grade one, or grade two. The Cub program is for eight to ten year olds, usually in grades three, four, or five. in Cubs, boys learn to strive to achieve their personal best while in small group settings. Scouts are from eleven to fourteen years old, usually in grade six, seven, eight, or nine.
Scouts seek individual achievement in specific areas of interest pursued outside of meeting times.
The boys also learn to cooperate and work together to achieve goals as a team. The organization is constructed of two parts. The central part of the Scouts is, of course, the boys and their leaders. Parents assist with projects and participate in meetings at the request of the leaders. A parents' organization exists as a auxiliary to the main program.
