To fill out the answer, almost as soon as troops started forming in the U.S., the national leadership was asked to deal with the "younger boy problem." Younger boys were meeting informally with troops and in addition to troops for some time, but it was also clear from the beginning that different activities were required. The national BSA leadership did not deal with the problem until the 1920's. As previously stated, experimental programs were created by professionals and experts and tested in 1928 and 1929. Cub Scouting became an official program of the BSA in 1930.

 

Check the BSA publication on the History of Cub Scouting for detailed information (if it is still available). My edition is somewhat dated now (published in the 1980s), but still has good information on the formation and early days of Cub Scouting.
