Explanation of the Ranking system for Cub Scouting


We are what is called a PACK. Within the PACK there are DENS.
DENS are made up of boys according to Grade Level and
they have meetings 2-4 times a month for the appropriate age group.
The PACK is all age levels together and there is one meeting a month.
 


TIGER 1st graders  

Any boy who is 7 years old or in first grade can join as a Tiger. The Tiger Cub program is a one-year introduction to Scouting. The Tiger Cub motto is "Search, Discover, Share." The program transitions the boys (and parents!) to the Cub Scouting program, which lasts 3-1/2 years.

Each Tiger Cub joins with an adult partner and forms a team basis.  Tiger Cub groups operate on a system called "shared leadership." Each boy/adult team takes their turn in providing leadership. In this way, each boy has the opportunity to serve in a leadership role with an adult partner during his Tiger Cub experience. The Tiger group also attends the monthly Pack meeting. By May they will earn their first 2 achievement ranks- Bobcat and Tiger. 


WOL2nd graders  

Any boy who is 8 years old or in second grade can join as a Wolf. But first, you must earn your Bobcat rank. A Wolf den meets to complete Achievements and electives so each boy may earn his rank and arrow points by May. The Wolf den also attends and participates in the monthly pack meeting. In keeping with Cub Scouting's family-oriented principle, parents are encouraged to attend den meetings and pack meetings.

BEAR 3rd graders

Any boy who is 9 years old or in third grade can join as a Bear. But first, you must earn your Bobcat rank, if you haven't already. A Bear den meets to complete Achievements and Electives so each boy may earn his rank and arrow points by May. The Bear den also attends and participates in the monthly pack meeting. In keeping with Cub Scouting's family-oriented principle, parents are encouraged to attend den meetings and pack meetings. 

WEBELOS 4th graders

Any boy who is 10 years old, or in fourth grade, can join as a Webelos. But first, you must earn your Bobcat rank, if you haven't already.
