What Is Cub Scouting?
In 1930 the Boy Scouts of America launched a home- and
neighborhood-centered program for boys 9 to 11 years of age. A key
element of the program is an emphasis on caring, nurturing relationships
between boys and their parents, adult leaders, and friends. Currently,
Cub Scouting (regular 1st grade to 5th grade) is the largest of the
BSA's three membership divisions. The others are Boy Scouting (ages 11
to 21) and Venturing(ages 14 to 21)
The Purpose Of Scouting:
Cub Scouting has nine purposes:
-
Positively influence character development and encourage spiritual growth
- Help boys develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship
- Encourage good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body
- Improve understanding within the family
-
Strengthen boys' ability to get along with other boys and respect other people
- Foster a sense of personal achievement by helping boys develop new interests and skills
- Show how to be helpful and do one's best
- Provide fun and exciting new things to do
- Prepare boys to become Boy Scouts
What "Rank" will my child start at?
-
Tiger Cub. 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. An Adult Parent must attend all
meetings with their scout. Adult parents are also expected to help plan
the meetings.
-
Bobcat. The Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub 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 hightes
award in Cub Scouts, the Arrow of Light Award.
All Parents are expected to assist by volunteering their time on a Committee for at least one pack activity during a year.
