The Path of Advancement


The responsibility for a boy's advancement in Cub Scouting lies with the family and not with the pack. Some advancement requirements are done at den meetings, but most are completed at home with the family.

Let us follow the advancement path...
    Bobcat (Earned by All Scouts)

All boys, regardless of age, earn the Bobcat badge first by learning the Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack, handshake, salute, sign, motto, and the meaning of "Webelos."

After receiving the Bobcat Badge, the boy works on requirements based on age or grade in school.
 
   Tiger Cub (1st Grade)

The Tiger Cub Program is for first grade (or age 7) boys and their adult partners.

The Tiger Cub, working with his adult partner, completes 15 requirements during the year. As they prograss, Tiger Cubs earn Totem Beads on the way to earning the Tiger Cub Badge.
   Wolf (2nd Grade)

A Cub Scout in the second grade (or age 8) works on 12 Achievements to earn the Wolf Badge.

After he earns his badge, he may work on electives in different interest areas until he is old enough to begin work on the next rank.

For every 10 electives a boy completes, he earns an Arrow Points. A boy may earn as many Arrow Points as he wishes. 

   Bear (3rd Grade)

  Webelos Scouts (4th and 5th Grade)

The Webelos program prepares the Scouts for the moment when they Crossover into the Boy Scout Troop of their choice.
