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.
