===Associated programs for younger children=== Younger children, particularly younger siblings, too young to be Scouts and take the Scout Promise attended some Scout meetings and so programs for younger children were developed by some troops and organizations. Baden-Powell's [[The Scout Association|Boy Scouts Association]] launched its [[Wolf Cubs]] in 1916, which Baden-Powell wanted to be distinct from Scouts in name, uniform and identity to ensure they did not give Scouts a juvenile image. In the United States, attempts at Cub programs began as early as 1911 but formal recognition by the Boy Scouts of America was not made until 1930.<ref name="scoutbase"/><ref name="cubusahist">{{cite web |url=http://www.geocities.com/~pack215/hist-cshistory.html |title=The Evolution of Cubbing, A 90 Year Chronology |publisher=Cubbing through the Decades |access-date=July 22, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060930174432/http://www.geocities.com/~pack215/hist-cshistory.html|archive-date=September 30, 2006}}</ref> Some Scout organizations have associated programs for even younger children and infants.
