The Webelos program is designed to be an eighteen
month to two year program geared to the developmental needs of boys in

or Bear) |
| Tiger Cubs BSA gives parents an opportunity to provide their children with
a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. Tiger Cubs and their adult
partners have fun together while developing closer family relationships.
Scouting can provide positive, enriching experiences and activities to
complement a child's formal classroom education. Scouting and education
share the common goal of helping young people grow into self-reliant,
dependable, and caring adults.
Tiger Cubs BSA is a simple, fun, easy-to-operate program that helps a
boy and his adult partner gain a better understanding of and an
appreciation for the community environment in which they live, and even
the world at large.
