Tiger Cubs
This
program is for boys in the first grade ( or 7-years-old) and their adult
partners. Boys and adults are members of a Tiger Cub den that usually
meets twice a month for activities built around the Tiger Cub motto,
"Search, Discover, Share." All of the adults share in the
leadership of the den, with the guidance and support of the Tiger Cub
den leader. Tiger Cub dens also take part in monthly pack meetings and
other activities. Tiger Cub den activities are based on advancements and
electives in the Tiger Cub Handbook

Cub
Scouting
This
program is for boys in the second
and third grades (or who are 8 and 9-years-old). When a boy becomes a
Cub Scout, he is assigned to a Cub Scout den. Den meetings are held each
week under the leadership of an adult volunteer den leader, usually a
parent of one of the boys in the den. There might also be an assistant
den leader and a den chief (an older Boy Scout, Varsity Scout or
Venturer) helping the den leader. All adult family members are expected
to help when called upon to assist with den activities. At den meetings,
the boys enjoy games, stunts, songs, crafts and ceremonies. Many of
these activities are based on a theme for that month. Cub Scouts also take part in field trips,
service projects and outdoor activities. |

Webelos
Scouting
This
program is for boys in the fourth
and fifth grades (or who are 10-years -old). These boys are members of a
Webelos den. Their den meetings are held weekly, usually in the evenings
or on a weekend, under the leadership of an adult volunteer Webelos den
leader, usually a parent of one of the boys in the den. There might also
be an assistant den leader and a den chief (an older Boy Scout, Varsity
Scout or Venturer) helping the den leader. Instead of a monthly theme,
the Webelos den program is built around one of the Webelos activity
badges. This badges are part of the Webelos advancement program.
Parent-son overnight camping is also an important part of the den's
program. The Webelos program runs for about 18 months, after which the
boys are encouraged to join a Boy Scout troop and continue their
Scouting adventure.

A Cub Scout and his adult partner work

based on
advancements and electives in the Tiger Cub
Handbook to earn the Bobcat
badge
|

A Cub Scout who is in the second grade (or 8 years old) works on 12
achievements in the Wolf
Cub Scout Book to earn the Wolf badge.
After earning the Wolf or Bear badge, the Cub Scout can earn
arrow points
 by
completing electives in his book. Most Wolf
advancement achievements are completed at home with the assistance of
the Cub
Scout's family. Parents approve the completion of the
achievements. |
|

A Cub Scout who is in the third grade (or 9 years old) completes 12 of
24
achievements in the
Bear Cub Scout Book to earn the Bear badge.
After earning the Bear badge, the Cub
Scout can earn arrow points by
completing electives in his book. Most Bear advancement
achievements are
completed at home
with the assistance of the Cub Scout's family. Parents approve
the completion of
the achievements. |

A Cub Scout who is in the fourth and fifth Grades (or 10 and 11-years-old) complete
the achievements in the Webelos Book to earn their Webelos badge.
Webelos is
broken down into Webelos 1 and Webelos 2.
A Webelos Scout works on requirements for the activity badges in
his
den meetings. Completion is approved by the den leader.
These badges are part of the requirements
for the Webelos badge and the Arrow of Light,
which prepare him to join
Boy Scouting.
|
Remember that after earning the Bobcat
badge, the boy works on the rank appropriate for his age. If he joins in the
third grade, he works on Bear and does not earn the Wolf badge.
We further aid in achieving these goals by
teaching the ideals of Cub Scouting, which are represented by the Cub Scout
Promise, Law and motto.
Cub Scout Promise
I, (your name), promise
to do my best,
to do my duty,
to God and my country,
to help other people
and to obey the Law of the Pack.
Law of the Pack
The Cub Scout follows Akela,
The Cub Scout helps the pack go,
The pack helps the Cub Scout grow,
The Cub Scout gives goodwill.
Cub Scout Motto
Do your best!
