For more than 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values
found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as
relevant in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910.
Across the Denver metro area, nearly 20,000 families are involved in Cub
Scouting.

Scouting is a family-centered program directed by trained, volunteer adult leaders that helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.

Scouting provides youth with programs and activities that allow them to:

• Try new things.
• Provide service to others.
• Build self-confidence.
• Reinforce ethical standards.

While various activities and youth groups teach basic skills and promote
teamwork, Scouting goes beyond that and encourages youth to achieve a
deeper appreciation for service to others in their community.

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals.
It is communicated to them that those in the Scouting family care about
what happens to them.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Scouting promotes activities that lead to personal responsibility and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.
