CUB SCOUT RANK ADVANCEMENT BADGES


The first badge all Cub Scouts earn, regardless of age, is the Bobcat Badge.  After earning the Bobcat Badge, they proceed to work on advancement specific to their age level.  As part of these requirements, they must learn the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout Motto.

In the First Grade, Cub Scouts work toward the Tiger Cub Badge.  Along the way they also complete electives to receive Tiger Track Beads to wear on a recognition emblem they wear on their shirt pocket.  (Additional information on Tiger Track Beads is listed below).

In the Second Grade, Cub Scouts work toward the Wolf Badge.  They also work toward earning a Gold Arrow Point and one or more Silver Arrow Points.  (Additional information on Arrow Points is listed below).

In the Third Grade, Cub Scouts work toward the Bear Badge.  They also work toward earning a Gold Arrow Point and Silver Arrow Points.  (Additional information on Arrow Points is listed below).


WEBELOS RANK ADVANCEMENT BADGES


Webelos is 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. A good program also provides the scouts with many opportunities to grow in the Webelos Virtues.

The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos Rank Badge to be earned around February of 4th grade and the Arrow of Light to be earned around February of 5th grade. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Boy Scout troop selected individually by the scout.
