Want to know More about Cub Scouting?

Thinking about joining Cub Scouts? Let’s start here: Cub Scouts are awesome. A program with an amazing history and tradition, Cub Scouting is a sure-fire way to get more involved with your son that puts the fun and adventure first.

Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of youth and their families. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Family involvement is an essential part of the program, and parents are encouraged to play an active role in making the most of the short time they have to impact the lives of their children.

Scouts progress from rank to rank, learning new skills as they go. Each of the ranks and awards in Scouting has its own requirements. As Scouts get older and advance, the requirements become more challenging to match newfound skills and abilities.

The Pack is made up of Dens, usually 6-8 boys, and spans from 1st to 5th grades, but your son can join at any time. Dens meet 1-2 times per month while the Pack meets usually once per month for events like camping, Pinewood Derby, pumpkin catapulting, rafting, community service, and other fun activities (see the Photos page to get a better idea).

The Ranks of Cub Scouts

Rank Gallery

LION CUBS - Kindergarten

New for the 2018/2019 year... our Lion Cub program has exciting indoor and outdoor activities specifically designed for kindergarten age youth and their adult partner. This is designed to a fun-filled way to get introduced to Scouting. Adult partners (guardians) are there to support and guide, allowing the new Cub Scout to discover risks and rewards under the security of adult supervision. Lion Cubs learn by doing. As they learn and grow, the relationship with their adult partner (guardian) grows as well.

TIGER CUB - 1st Grade

The Tiger rank is for youth who are in first grade or age seven and is designed to help youth learn about leadership, community, and family. To earn the Tiger badge, a youth must complete six required adventures with the den or family and one elective adventure of the den or family's choosing. As the scout completes each adventure, they will receive the an adventure loop to wear on their belt. After completing the seven required adventures, the cub has earned the Tiger badge.

WOLF CUB - 2nd Grade

The Wolf rank is for youth who have finished first grade or are eight years old and is designed to emphasize character development, citizenship, and personal fitness. To earn the Wolf badge, a scout must complete six required adventures and one elective adventure. The cub’s parent or guardian, and den leader, approves each requirement by signing his book. The scout receives an adventure loop for each adventure and after meeting all requirements, has earned the Wolf badge.

BEAR CUB - 3rd Grade

The Bear rank is for youth who have finished second grade or are nine years old and helps youth continue to grow in character development, citizenship, and personal fitness. To earn the Bear badge, a scout must complete six required adventures and one elective adventure. Their parent or guardian, and den leader, approves each requirement by signing their book. The cub receives an adventure loop for each adventure and after meeting all requirements, has earned the Bear badge.

Achieving BOBCAT

At the beginning of Tiger, or any rank started thereafter (when starting Cub Scouts), a cub must first earn their Bobcat badge before they can advance to the rank of Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, or Arrow of Light. A scout must complete the Bobcat requirements, which include: 1) Learning and say the Cub Scout motto, the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law and tell what they mean; 2) Show the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake and tell what they mean, and more...

WEBELOS & ARROW OF LIGHT - 4th & 5th Grades

Webelos dens are for youth who have completed third grade or are ten years old with a strong focus on helping youth learn self-reliance and confidence. Webelos Scouts get to work on the five required Webelos adventures and choose two of the 18 elective adventures that are shared by the Webelos and Arrow of Light ranks. After finishing the requirements for an adventure, the Webelos den leader, rather than a parent, approves most of the adventures. For each adventure a scout completes, they receive a pin to wear on the Webelos colors or on their hat. After completing seven adventures, including five required adventures and two elective adventures, the scout has earned the Webelos badge.

Next they work towards the highest rank in Cub Scouting, Arrow of Light, which is designed to continue to preparing a Webelos Scout to become a Boy Scout. Scouts must complete four required adventures and three elective adventures to earn the Arrow of Light rank. For each adventure a Scout completes, they receive a pin to wear on the Webelos colors or on their hat. After an Arrow of Light Scout has earned the The Arrow of Light badge they're ready to join a Boy Scout Troop at our highly-acclaimed annual Crossover event!
