Advancement Trail
| Lions |
The Lion program is new as of Fall 2016! It is a program designed for boys 5 to 6 years old or in Kindergarten. When an adventure is
completed, the Lion will receive a sticker that matches the adventure which he can place on the “My Lion Trail” page in their adventure book.
| Bobcat |
No matter what age or grade a child joins Cub Scouting, they must earn their Bobcat badge before advancing to the rank of Tiger, Wolf, Bear or Webelos.
| Tiger |
The Tiger rank is for Scouts who are in first grade or are age 7. To earn the Tiger badge, a Scout 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, he or she will receive the adventure loop for that adventure, which he can wear on the belt.
| Wolf |
The Wolf rank is for Scouts who have finished first grade (or who are 8 years old). To earn the Wolf badge, a Scout must complete six required adventures and one elective adventure. As the Scout completes each adventure, he or she will receive the adventure loop for that adventure, which he can wear on the belt.
| Bear |
The Bear rank is for Scouts who have finished second grade (or who are 9 years old). To earn the Bear badge, a Scout must complete six required adventures and one elective adventure. As the Scout completes each adventure, he or she will receive the adventure loop for that adventure, which he can wear on the belt.
| Webelos |
Webelos dens are for Scouts who have completed third grade (or reached age 10). 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. For each adventure a Scout completes, a pin to be worn on the Webelos colors or on hat is awarded.
| Arrow of Light |
The highest rank in Cub Scouting is the Arrow of Light. Earning this rank prepares 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, a pin to be worn on the Webelos colors hat is awarded.
