How does your son become a Cub Scout?



The first step is to check out one of our meetings


If you're ready to sign up, please complete this Youth Application for your son. You will also need to complete this Adult Application for yourself. Please print it out and bring it to the next meeting. We will also need a completed Health Form for your son to participate in scout activities. Download that form here.

The boy and his family is also responsible for his uniform shirt and handbook. (Hat, socks and belt are not required, but most boys do get them.) These can be purchased at the Scout Shop at the Gulf Ridge Council, 13228 N. Central Ave., Tampa. They can also subscribe to Boys Life magazine, which is $12.00 a year.

What is a Pack or Den?


The Pack consists of Dens; each den has between 5 and 15 boys all in the same grade.

  • Tigers are 1st graders
  • Wolfs are 2nd graders
  • Bears are 3rd graders
  • Webelos are 4th and 5th graders

Advancement Plan

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 Cub

The Tiger Cub program is for first grade 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.  


 
 

Wolf Cub

The Wolf program is for boys who have completed first grade.  To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass twelve achievements involving both physical and mental skills.



 

Bear Cub

The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade. There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear badge.  

 

Webelos (We'll Be Loyal Scouts)

This program is for boys who have completed third grade. It is an 18-month program designed to transition a boy from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.  There are 2 Webelos dens in a pack (Web 1 and Web 2).  As Webelos scouts, boys will interact with local Boy Scout troops to earn the prestigious Arrow of Light award.
