Tiger Cubs

 Tiger Cubs are first-grade boys who, with their adult partners, learn lessons about     building family communication, preparing for emergencies, and understanding the environment.  Tiger Cubs can wear either the the orange Tiger Cub T-shirt or sweatshirt or the blue cub scout shirt with the orange neckerchief, orange Tiger Cub hat and blue jeans.
  Your Tiger Cub will be a member of a den. Most dens have five to nine boy-adult partner teams, meet twice a month, and have one outing a month called a Go See It. The den also takes part in monthly pack meetings.
  Each den meeting and den activity is led by a den leader and an adult partner of one of the Tiger Cubs. An adult partner can be a parent, relative, or friend who is at least 18 years old and who cares about the boy.
  Your Tiger is also a member of a Cub Scout pack. Most packs are made up of several dens that gather monthly at a pack meeting. Pack meetings usually follow a theme, recognize boys for their accomplishments, perform skits and songs, and have fun with the entire family.

 

 

 

 

 

Wolf Cubs

 Wolf is the second advancement rank the boys earn as Cub Scouts. Boys work toward accomplishing achievements and electives outlined in Cub Scout manuals, and are rewarded with the Wolf badge and arrow points for their work. Wolves are second grade boys. Wolf Cubs meet as a den three times a month to work on different, age-specific activities. At this level, dens consist of a den leader, co-leader(s) and adults who help out. The den also takes part in monthly pack meetings. To earn the Wolf Badge the boys must pass 12 achievements involving simple physical and mental skills. Some of the activities include feats of skill, learning about the flag, tools for building and fixing things and starting a collection.

 

 

Bear Cubs

 Bears are third grade boys. As with Tigers and Wolves, Bears meet in dens consisting of five to nine boys. They are led by a den leader and co-leader(s), along with adults who help out. The den also takes part in monthly pack meetings.
Bear is the third and final rank of advancement before the boy moves onto Webelos. The program is similar to the Wolf program, but there are 24 Bear Achievements in four categories – God, Country, Family, and Self. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear Badge. Activities include planning and cooking a family meal, increasing strength and agility through exercise, and camping with the family. Bear Cubs can also earn arrow points for completing extra work.

 

 

Webelos

 Webelos is an acronym for We’ll Be Loyal Scouts. Webelos Scouting is designed for fourth and fifth grade boys.  Geared to older boys, Webelos activities include using computers, learning citizens’ role in the nation, studying animals and insects, swimming, and properly caring for the flag.
Boys begin working on the Webelos Badge as soon as their den moves onto Webelos. This is the first step in the transition to a Boy Scout Troop. As they complete the requirements found in the Webelos Scout book, they pursue activity badges for achievements in academic skills, the outdoors, technology, sports, and community involvement. They attend den meetings led by a Webelos den leader and co-leader(s), and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements, all leading to the Arrow of Light
award, the highest award in Cub Scouting.
