The Tiger Cub program is for first-grade
(or age 7) boys and their adult partners. 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.
The Wolf Trail is
for boys who have completed the first grade or are 8 years old.
Your Wolf Den Leader is assisted by other Den parents and
Assistant Den leader(s) known as Akela. Many of the activities
in your Wolf book can be completed at home with your family or
during your Den meetings. Once you finish an activity
requirement you can have Akela sign your book showing that you
have successfully completed the activity.
In the Third
Grade, Cub Scouts work toward the Bear Badge, then they, too,
work toward earning a Gold Arrow Point and Silver Arrow Points.
The requirements for these badges are found in the Bear Cub
Scout Book. To earn the Bear Badge, a Cub Scout must complete 12
achievements out of a possible 24 that are offered in the book.
The achievements are grouped in 4 major areas, GOD, COUNTRY,
FAMILY, and SELF. Within each group, a required number of
achievements must be completed, as indicated below. Also, any
achievements that they do NOT use to earn the Bear Badge may be
used to earn Arrow Points. Most achievements are primarily done
at home and signed off by an adult family member after the boy
has completed each one. The book is then shown to the Den Leader
who records the progress and also signs the boy's book.
The boy becomes a Webelos Scout upon
graduation from the Bear. Boys new to Cub Scouting can
become Webelos if they are 10 years old or have completed
third grade, and have earned the Bobcat badge. The Webelos
badge is the fifth rank in Cub Scouting (coming after
Bobcat, Tiger, Wolf, and Bear.) To earn the Webelos badge
you must be active in your den for at least 3 months and
complete the requirements. You'll be proud to earn the
Webelos rank and receive your badge at a pack meeting. One
of the differences between Webelos and younger Cub Scouts is
that the Webelos Den Leader signs off the completed
activities of a Webelos Scout.
The Arrow of
Light Award
The highest award in Cub Scouting is the Arrow of Light
Award, which you will begin working on as a Webelos Scout.
It is the only Cub Scout badge that you can wear on the Boy
Scout uniform. As you work on the Arrow of Light Award, you
practice outdoor skills, get physically fit, and learn more
about citizenship and working with others. All of these
things prepare you for the next stage of Scouting.
