Well, as a former Scout I found it amusing. But I think the actual "joke" (quoted because it's very dark) is about bears eating cubs (a thing male bears will do), but then punning off of that with "Cub Scouts".

I struggled to find humor in that as well. I guess its the unexpected juxtaposition of animals having a casual lunch at the picnic table ... didn't resonate with me.

I guess you missed it too, then.

"Adult male bears quite commonly eat cubs."

A pun? "Bears eating cub's scouts"?

It's bears eating cub scouts, rather than the other way around - what's not to get?

Because cub scouts eat bears?!?

This cub scout did! What did y'all do in scouts?

Now I'm the one confused.

Dude, you had one kick ass cub scout den.

Shoulda seen my pinewood derby car.
