The Cub Scout colors are blue and gold. They have special meaning,
which will help boys see beyond the fun of Cub Scouting to its
ultimate goals.
The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty,
and the sky above.
The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness.

Cub Scout History
A "YOUNGER BOY PROGRAM” FOR A "YOUNGER BOY PROBLEM"
The "Cubbing Program" was introduced by the Boy Scouts of America in
1930, but its roots go all the way back to the first days of Scouting.
With the early success of the Boy Scouts for boys 12 and over, there
was popular demand for a "younger boy program" for the siblings of
Scouts. Because of concerns that a younger boy program might have a
negative effect on the fledgling Boy Scouts program, the BSA was very
careful in their dealings with this "younger boy problem."
In 1916, Sir Robert Baden-Powell introduced the "Wolf Cub" program
for younger boys. This program soon found its way to numerous
communities in the Americas. There were also other "younger boy"
organizations such as the "Little Lodge" of the "Woodcraft Indians,"
the "Boy Pioneers," and the "Boy Rangers." Some BSA Boy Scout Troops
were also sponsoring unofficial "Junior Troops" and "Cadet Corps."
Finally, after 20 years of Boy Scouting in America, "Cubbing" was
introduced! What has followed has been nothing short of phenomonal!
Boasting over 50,000,000 members since its inception, no program in
history has had the far ranging impact on American youth than Cubbing
and Cub Scouting have! The following is a condensed history of
Cubbing in America. From then, to now.......
1910 Boy Scouts of America incorporated on February 8, national
Executive Board formed. Baden-Powell visited America to talk with
leaders. President Taft became the first honorary president of the
BSA; the first honorary vice-president was Theodore Roosevelt.
1911 At the urging of the national Executive Board of the BSA,

with "Cub Moms" and a motto of "We do our best." This program was
shelved due to a "tremendous upheaval" within the BSA.
