Cub Scout activities are centered around earning badges that are specific to each school grade level. This badge represents a rank. Advancement refers to the progress a Cub Scout makes toward their badge of rank. All of the activities for each rank are in the Cub Scout handbooks.
Ranks
Lion
Kindergartners work toward the Lion rank. The Lion rank is earned by completing five adventures as described on the Lions Den Page. Although participation with an adult partner is required for all Lion awards, recognition items are for the Scouts only.
Bobcat
Cub Scouts who join in 1st through 5th grade earn the Bobcat Badge first
Tiger
First graders work toward the Tiger rank. The Tiger rank is earned by completing seven adventures as described on the Tiger Den page. Although participation with an adult partner is required for all Tiger awards, recognition items are for the Scouts only.
Wolf
Second graders work toward the Wolf rank. The Wolf rank is earned by completing seven adventures as described on the Wolf Den page.
Bear
Third graders work toward the Bear rank. The Bear rank is earned by completing seven adventures as described on the Bear Den page.
Webelos
Fourth graders work toward the Webelos rank. The Webelos rank is earned by completing six adventures as described on the Webelos Den page. Scouts who are in Cub Scouts in fourth grade must complete the Webelos rank before working towards their Arrow of Light.
Arrow of Light
When your scout is 11 years old (or has earned the Arrow of Light or completed the fifth grade), they make the transition from the pack to a Boy Scout troop in an impressive pack ceremony.
