Tiger Cubs The Tiger Cub program is an
introduction to Cub Scouting for first graders. Each
Tiger Cub must have an adult partner (usually a parent or
guardian) who participates in each activity with them.
There are five Tiger Cub achievement areas. The Tiger Cub,
working with his adult partner, completes 15 requirements
within these areas to earn the Tiger Cub badge. These
requirements consist of an exciting series of indoor and
outdoor activities just right for a boy in the first grade. |

Wolf Scouts Wolf scouts are boys who have
completed first grade or are eight years old. They
meet as a Den of six to ten boys under the direction of
their Den Leader and Assistant Den Leader. Den
Meetings provide an opportunity to play games, learn new
skills, go on outings and tours, and work on achievements.
Twelve achievements must be completed in order to earn the
Wolf Badge. |
 |
Bear Scouts Bear scouts have completed the
second grade or are nine years old. There are 24 Bear
achievements in four categories: God, Country, Family, and
Self. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the
Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult
and challenging than those for Wolf rank. Bear Den
Meetings are similar to the meetings held by Wolves.
Scouts will learn new skills and work on achievements both
at home and in Den Meetings. |

Webelos Scouts Webelos is the last rank in Cub
Scouting. It is a two year program for fourth and
fifth graders. Webelos is an acronym for "We'll Be
Loyal Scouts." Under the direction of the Den Leader
and assistants, Webelos Scouts work to earn Activity Pins
for a wide variety of hobby and career subjects ranging from
sports to science. They also work towards the Webelos
Badge and finally the Arrow of Light, Cub Scouting's highest
honor. |
