What is the difference between the Boy Scout Program and the Cub Scout Program?
You will find that Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are very different programs. In Boy Scouting more emphasis is placed on boy leadership. Troop, Patrol and Patrol Council meetings, camping trips and day trips are run by boy leaders, not by the adult leaders. Boys are required to take more responsibility for their own behavior as boy scouts. Boys will set their own goals for advancement and will progress through the program on an individual level. There are far more camping trips and day trips than at the Cub Scout level.
