{{Main|Cub Scouts (Scouting America)}}
'''Cub Scouting''' is a division of [[Scouting America]]. Starting in 1918, several experiments operated until 1930, when the first official Cub packs were registered.<ref name="threefires">{{cite web|url=http://www.threefirescouncil.org/History/ |title=A Brief History of the Boy Scouts of America |publisher=Three Fires Council |access-date=July 27, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927023056/http://www.threefirescouncil.org/History/ |archive-date=September 27, 2007 }}</ref> Today, it is a family program for children in kindergarten through fifth grade, with each den admitting boys, girls or coed through 4th grade and single gender for 5th grade. Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cubs. Families are a core part of Cubs and are included in many activities. Currently, Cubs is the largest of Scouting America's three divisions.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.scouting.org/Media/FactSheets/02-502.aspx | title = BSA Fact Sheet: What Is Cub Scouting? | publisher = Boy Scouts of America | access-date = 2006-02-06 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080221140455/http://www.scouting.org/Media/FactSheets/02-502.aspx | archive-date = 2008-02-21 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

====Baden-Powell Service Association====
In the [[Baden-Powell Service Association]], the corresponding program for this age group is called Timberwolves.<ref>{{cite web|title=Timberwolf|url=https://www.bpsa-us.org/timberwolf|website=bpsa-us.org|publisher=Baden-Powell Service Association|access-date=21 November 2016}}</ref> As with the Scout Association, each pack is divided into Sixes led by a "Sixer" with a "Seconder" assisting. The Pack retains Baden-Powell's original ''[[The Jungle Book|Jungle Book]]'' theme, with its leader called [[Akela (The Jungle Book)|Akela]] and assistant leaders using names like [[Raksha (The Jungle Book)|Raksha]], [[Bagheera]], or [[Baloo]].<ref>{{cite web|title=TIMBERWOLF HANDBOOK|url=https://www.bpsa-us.org/pdf/BPSA-US_TW_Handbook.pdf|website=bpsa-us.org|publisher=Baden-Powell Service Association|access-date=21 November 2016}}</ref>
