An exciting introduction to the scouting program for first grade boys (or 7 years old) excited to get going! Tiger Cubs
do stuff
- lots of stuff - with their adult partners. This program is intended
to open up the world to inquisitive minds along with the caring guidance
of adults. The first steps along the Boy Scout Trail are laid here and
every rank advancement through the scouting program builds on the basic
categories of activity done as tigers.
Wolf Cubs
If a Cub Scout has completed the first grade (or is 8 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge, he may start earning the Wolf rank. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year,
preparing the scout to begin earning his Bear rank after he completes
second grade.
Bear Cubs
If a Cub Scout has completed the second grade (or is 9 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge, he may start earning the Bear rank. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year,
preparing the scout to begin earning his Webelos rank after he completes
third grade.
Webelos
A 20 month program for 4th and 5th grade boys to prepare to
join a Boy Scout troop while learning outdoors skills and participating
in 20 different activity badges. A well-run group of Webelos is a
gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'boy-run' patrol
ready to fit right into an adventurous scouting troop. This migration
requires the parents and den leaders to give the scouts more and more
control, decision-making power, and responsibility as they progress in
skills, abilities, and maturity.
