Kindergarten – 5th Grade · Winstead Elementary · Franklin, TN
Character, built to last. Scouting's mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes. We do it the way kids actually learn — outdoors, hands-on, and alongside their family.
Why Cub Scouts
Every scout works through the six aims of Scouting, in order.
Make ethical choices and lead with kindness
Explore outdoors — real trails, real campfires
Grow closer as a family, and respect something bigger
First aid, awareness, and handling the unexpected
Serve others and show up for the community
Build active habits through games and the outdoors
Scouts earn advancements, not grades. Each aim is completed by finishing hands-on Adventures — outdoor skills, STEM, crafts, and service — at meetings, on outings, and at home.
