Advancement

Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scout advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects.

 

  Tiger Cubs
 
The Tiger cub program is for first grade (or 7 year old) boys and their adult partners. There are five Tiger Cub achievement areas. The Tiger Cub, working along with his adult partner, completes 15 requirements within these areas to earn the Tiger Cub Badge. These requirements consists of an exciting series of indoor and outdoor activities just right for a boy in the first grade.

 

   

 

 

Bobcat

The Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Scouting.

 

 

  Wolf  

 

 

The Wolf program is for boys who have completed first  grade (or are age 8). To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass twelve achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.

 

  Bear  

 

 

 

The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9). There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories. 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.

 

 

Webelos  

 

 

 

This program is for boys who have completed third grade (or are age 10). A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements—all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.
