The Cub Scouts program is part of the Scouting America and the worldwide Scouting movement, which has been helping young people develop leadership, character, and citizenship for over a century. Cub Scouting is designed especially for children in 1st through 5th grade (or ages 7 to 11), offering age-appropriate adventures that grow in challenge as Scouts get older.
As Scouts progress through the program, they move through ranks—Lion, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos 1, and finally Webelos 2. When Cub Scouts complete Webelos 2, they reach an important milestone: graduation from Cub Scouting. This is often celebrated at the Blue and Gold Banquet, one of the most cherished traditions in Scouting. At this event, Scouts have the opportunity to “cross over” and continue their journey in one of the local Scouts BSA Troops.
We are fortunate here in Alameda to have many active and welcoming troops to choose from, each with its own personality, traditions, and leadership. Some of the local troops include:
Troop 2 | Troop 3 | Troop 7 | Troop 11 | Troop 73 | Troop 78 | Troop 89 | Troop 1015
Please note: Pack 1015 provides this list simply as a resource for families. We do not endorse one troop over another. Each of these troops is well-organized, led by dedicated volunteers, and provides excellent opportunities for youth to continue their Scouting journey. Families are encouraged to visit more than one troop to find the best fit for their Scout’s interests and personality.
