Cub Scouts earn Adventures that are specific to their grade and rank. A number of Adventures must be completed to earn the badge of rank for each grade level. Completion of Adventures is how the aims of character, citizenship, leadership, and personal fitness are developed.
| Rank | Advancement Plan |
|---|---|
Lion |
The Lion program is for Kindergarteners and their adult partners. They work on Adventures like the older grades. The Lion program forms a strong foundation for a lifetime of fun and meaningful family adventures. |
Tiger |
The Tiger program is for first-grader (or age 6) children and their adult partners. Adventures include indoor and outdoor activities just right for a first grader. |
Wolf |
A Cub Scout who has completed first grade (or is age 8) works towards the Wolf badge. Scouts learn about the outdoors and Leave No Trace, our neighborhoods and community service, and good health. |
Bear |
A Cub Scout who has completed second grade (or is age 9) works towards the Bear badge. Scouts will learn about nature, how to take care of themselves, the value of helping others, having fun, and patriotism. |
Webelos |
A Cub Scout who has completed third grade (or is age 10) transfers to a Webelos den and works on requirements for the Webelos badge. Camping and outdoor programs are an important part of the Webelos program. |
Arrow of Light |
A Cub Scout who has completed the fourth grade (or is age 11) transfers to an Arrow of Light den – the highest award in Cub Scouts! In the spring of the 5th grade year, a Webelos graduates from Cub Scouts into Scouts BSA. |
