Ages: Each age section meets on a different day of the week:

• Joeys are admitted as 6yo and can stay up to their 8th b'day. Ours meet 6:00-7:00pm on Tuesdays.
• Cubs are admitted as 7yo and can stay up to their 11th b'day. Ours meet 6:30-8:00pm on Mondays.

Transition: Age on transition between sections varies, depending on individual maturity and readiness to start in the new section. New starters tend to come in at the young end of an older section, as opposed to the old end of a younger section, so that they don't need to transition to the next section in the short term.
