Tiger Cub Scouts (1st Graders)



The Cub Scout adventure begins with Tiger Cubs.
Parents are most involved at the Tiger Cub level.  The boy and his parent or guardian join the den together and attend all meetings and activities together.
The den is made up of three to eight of these parent-son teams.   Each den also has a Tiger Cub den leader (usually one of the parents) who helps coordinate the meetings.  The parent-son teams take turns running the activities and planning meetings with the Tiger Cub den leader.  The den has one meeting a month. Participation is key for "Go See It" activities (the den, as a group, visits a community place of interest), and attends a monthly pack meeting.

At the end of the school year he graduates to a Wolf Cub Scout.

Wolf Cub Scouts (2nd Graders)



The Wolf Scout den will involve your son in a group of boys his own age where he can earn status and recognition. Parents are vital to the Cub Scouts den, both in the role of home support and to help the den leaders, but their sons are beginning to be more independent, and not every boy needs a parent at every meeting. The den consists of four to eight boys, a den leader they meet twice a month and have to complete 12 achievements involving simple physical and mental skills in the Wolves handbook. Some activities will need to be done at home with guidance from parents. 


At the end of the school year, he will graduate into a Bear Scout den.

Bear Cub Scouts (3rd Graders)



The Bear Scout den is similar to the Wolves, Parents are vital to the Cub Scout dens, both in the role of home support and to help the den leader.  Your son will be in a group of boys his own age where he can earn status and recognition. This den is made up of boys who are in third grade and are 8 or 9 years old. The den consist of four to eight boys, a den leader and assistant den leader (usually a parent of one of the boys) 

They meet two to four times a month and complete 12 of 24 achievements involving simple physical and mental skills in the Bears Handbook. It is more difficult than the Wolf achievements. 

Some activities will need to be done at home with guidance from Parents.

At the end of the school year, he will graduate into a Webelo I Scout den.

Webleos Scouts (4th and 5th Graders)





Webelos are the final steps in the Cub Scout experience. Webelos Scouts are still in Cub Scouting. They take part in Cub Scout pack meetings, events and outings. But the Webelos den also makes its own plans and enjoys many activities too advanced for younger boys.

Webelos scouts don't do achievements and electives as other boys in Cub Scouting do. Webelos Scouts complete activities in the Webelos Handbook and work on activity badges as their monthly program themes.

Webelos Scouts are encouraged to participate in activities that prepare them for becoming Boy Scouts.

Webelos I is for boys in the fourth grade are 9 or 10 years old.

Arrow of Light (Web II) is for boys in the fifth grade are 10 or 11 years old.

The ultimate goal of a Webelos Scout is too earn his Arrow of Light badge and to cross-over to the Boy Scouts

They meet 2-4 times per month, and earn activity badges.  They also meet with the Pack once a month.

BobCat (1st rank all new scouts earn)

Earning his first badge

A boy's first step after registering as a Cub Scout, regardless of his age, is to pass the Bobcat requirements.

 

They are as follows:

  1. THE CUB SCOUT PROMISE - and its meaning.

"I .....(name).... promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack."

  1. THE LAW OF THE PACK - and its meaning.

"The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The pack helps the Cub Scout Grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill."

  1. THE CUB SCOUT MOTTO -

 "Do Your Best."

  1. THE MEANING OF THE WORD WEBELOS

 "WE 'll BE LOyal Scouts"

  1. SHOW THE CUB SCOUT SIGN and tell what it means
  • Make the sign with your right hand, first two fingers raised.
  • Hold your arm straight up.
  • The two raised fingers look like the sharp ears of the wolf listening to Akela, his leader.
  1. GIVE THE CUB SCOUT SALUTE and tell what it means
  • Salute with your right hand. Hold your first two fingers close together.
  • Touch the tips to your cap. Touch your eyebrow if you are not wearing a cap.
  • This is the way to show respect to your leaders.
  • You salute the flag to show respect to our country.
  • And you can greet another Cub Scout this way.
  1. SHOW THE CUB SCOUT HANDSHAKE and tell what it means

When you shake hands with another Cub Scout,
place the first two fingers of your right hand
along the inside of his right wrist.

  1. WITH YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN

Complete the exercises in the parent's guide, How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse.

The above items are the basic information that all Cub Scouts must learn, which is why every boy who enters Cub Scouting must earn the Bobcat Badge regardless of what age he enters scouting.  This is why the Bobcat Trail appears in the beginning of each rank's handbook.  The scout  earns his Bobcat rank only once during his cub scout career.
