Bobcat Rank

The Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub Scouting. Scouts must complete the Bobcat Requirements before moving onto Tiger, Wolf, Bear or Webelos.

Bobcat Requirements

Tiger Rank

The Tiger Cub 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. In addition, Tiger Cubs can earn belt loops for Sporting and Academic activities.

Tiger Requirements

Wolf Rank

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. AFTER a Wolf Cub Scout earns his Wolf Badge he may begin earning Arrow Points in the Electives section of his book. He may work on his "Arrow Point Trail" at any time, however he cannot receive Arrow Points until AFTER he has earned the Wolf Badge. In addition, Wolf Cubs can earn belt loops and pins for Sporting and Academic activities.

Wolf Requirements

Bear Rank

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. AFTER a Bear Cub Scout earns his Bear Badge he may begin earning Arrow Points in the Electives section of his book. He may work on his "Arrow Point Trail" at any time, however he cannot receive Arrow Points until AFTER he has earned the Bear Badge. In addition, Bear Cubs can earn belt loops and pins for Sporting and Academic activities.

Bear Requirements

Webelos Rank

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 Arrow of Light Award. In addition, Webelos can earn belt loops and pins for Sporting and Academic activities.
