Cub Scouting Introduction
Cub Scouting

In Cub Scouting, boys and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character and instills values. Cub Scouting embraces the values of citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health and fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility. These values come to boys in all parts of the Cub Scout program—all while they're having a great time with their friends and families.

 
The pack is divided into a number of dens. A Cub Scout shares his den with with 3 to 7 other boys of the same age. There are four different ranks of Cub Scouts:

  • Tiger Cubs (ages 6 to 7, first grade)
  • Wolf Cubs (ages 7 to 8, second grade)
  • Bear Cubs (ages 8 to 9, third grade)
  • Webelos (ages 9-11, fourth and 5th grade)

 
Who are the Tiger Cubs?
tiger.jpgThe Tiger Cub program is for first grade (or ages 6 to  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 activities that include his den, his family and field trips.
 
Who are the Wolf Cubs?

Who are the Bear Cubs?
bear.jpgThe 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.
 
Who are the Webelos?
webelos.jpgThis 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 highest award in Cub Scouting, the Arrow of Light.

We'll Be Loyal Scouts 

 
Who are the BobCats?
bobcat.jpgThe BobCat badge is the first badge that a Cub Scout earns. He can earn this when ever he joins. When a first grader first joins the pack, he'll earn the BobCat badge first. When a third grader joins the pack, he'll earn the BobCat badge first. There eight requirements for the Bobcat badge. All are designed to introduce the new Cub into Scouting.
