Cub Scout
Young uniformed camper
A Cub Scout is a member of the junior division of the Boy Scouts, typically for children ages five to ten.
The program emphasizes outdoor skills, community service, and character development through age-appropriate activities.
My son joined Cub Scouts in first grade.
The term sometimes appears figuratively to suggest youthful inexperience or earnest enthusiasm.
