The Wolf Cub program was originated by The Boy Scouts Association in the United Kingdom in 1916 to provide a programme for boys who were too young to be Boy Scouts. It was adopted by many other Scouting organisations. Many Scouting organisations, including The Scout Association, no longer use the Wolf Cub programme and have replaced it with other programmes but have retained the name Cubs. Others, including Traditional Scouting organisations, maintain the original Wolf Cubs programme.
Originally Cubs programmes were open only to boys, while young girls could join the Brownies. Some Cub organisations are open to both girls and boys, although not necessarily in the same unit. A few organisations also operate a Sea Cub version of Cubs.[1]
