Cub Scout Trail
Boys in the first through fifth grades (or ages 7, 8, 9, or 10) may join a Cub Scout pack and be assigned to a den. Tiger Cub dens usually meet twice a month.
Cub Scout den meetings are usually held once a week. Webelos Scout den meetings are usually held once a week. Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cub Master.Tiger Cubs
Tiger Cub dens are made up of first grade or 7 year old boys and their adult partners. The Tiger Cub program is conducted on two levels. First, the Tiger Cub and his adult partner meet in the home to conduct activities for the whole family. Second, the Tiger Cub and his adult partner meet twice a month with other Tiger Cubs and adult partners in the den, using the planned big idea for their activity during one of the meetings. Each den meeting is hosted by a Tiger Cub - adult partner team.
At the end of the school term, Tiger Cubs automatically graduate into
Cub Scouting.Bobcat
When a boy becomes a Cub Scout, his parent teaches him his Bobcat
requirements: learning the Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack,
handshake, salute, sign, and motto.
Wolf
If a Cub Scout has completed the first grade (or is 8 years old)
he may begin working on his Wolf achievements. There are
twelve. Upon completion of the achievements, he is awarded the
Wolf badge, and may continue to work on Wolf electives in
twenty two different areas. When a boy completes ten projects he
receives a Gold Arrow Point. For each additional ten projects he
receives a Silver Arrow Point.Bear
When a Cub Scout has completed the second grade (or is 9 years old)
he begins working on his Bear achievements. There are twenty four
achievements in four different groups: God, Country, Family, and Self.
To achieve the Bear rank, the Cub Scout must earn his choice of
twelve: one from the first group, three from the second group, and
four from each of the third and fourth groups. After achieving the
Bear badge, a boy may concentrate on twenty four Bear elective
areas until he becomes a Webelos Scout. Gold and Silver Arrow
Points are also awarded for these projects.Webelos
After completing the third grade, a Cub Scout graduates with
ceremony into a Webelos den. This is a special den for boys in the
fourth or
fifth grade (or who are 10 years old). The Webelos Scout program
is more challenging to the older boy - in fact, he's now called a
Webelos Scout and wears a different uniform signifying his new status.Meetings are usually held in the early evening or on Saturday. His
leader is a man or woman assisted by other den parents. The den
chief is older and more experienced than those serving Cub
Scouts. Also, the Webelos Scout's advancement is approved by
his Webelos den leader rather than his parent. He begins work
immediately on the Webelos badge. In addition, he can earn twenty
Webelos activity badges. As a fifth grader (or at age 10) he may
earn Cub Scouting highest award - the Arrow of Light Award.
After receiving this award, he is eligible to become a Boy Scout,
or he may join a troop at age 11 (or when he completes the fifth
grade).
