Scoutcraft

The whole of the outdoors is at your disposal as Cubs learn all of the basic Scout skills. Learn to tie knots, create a pioneering project, and cook outdoors as you also learn how to safely use a pocket knife and build a fire. Cubs can practice all of these skills and get a head start on all you need to know to be a part of Scouts BSA.
