Bobcat
No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he must earn his Bobcat badge before he can advance to
the rank of Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear or Webelos. A boy must complete the Bobcat requirements, which include:
- Learn and say the Cub Scout motto, the Cub Scout Promise, and the Law of the Pack and tell what they mean:
- Show the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake and tell what they mean; and
- Show that you understand and believe that it is important to be honest and trustworthy.

Tiger Cub
To begin his path to the Tiger Cub rank, the Tiger Cub (age 7) must learn the Cub
Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. When he has
learned these, he gets his Tiger Cub emblem, which is a tiger paw with four strings
for beads. He wears the emblem on his right pocket.
As a boy finishes each part of the five Tiger Cub achievenments, he earns an orange
bead (for den activities). a white bead (for family activities), or a black bead (for
"Go See It" activities). When the boy has earned five beads of each color, he can
receive his Tiger Cub badge. The Tiger Cub badge is awarded at the next pack
meeting, in the presence of all his fellow scouts and their families. |

Wolf
The Wolf rank is for boys who have finished first grade (or who are 8 years old). To earn
the Wolf badge, a boy must pass 12 achievements. On his way to earning Wolf rank, the Cub
Scout will be given a Progress Toward Ranks pocket emblem and will earn one yellow bead
for every three achievment completed. His parent or guardian approves each achievement by
signing his book. When the boy has met all requirements, the Wolf badge is presented at the
next pack meeting, in the presence of all his fellow scouts and their families.
After he has earned the Wolf badge, a Wolf Cub Scout can work on the 23 Wolf electives
until he finishes second grade (or turns 9 years old). He can choose from more than 100
elective projects that may show him new hobbies and teach him skills that will be useful
during his Boy Scout years. When he completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow
Point to wear under the Wolf badge. For each 10 elective projects after that, he earns a
Silver Arrow Point.

Bear
The Bear rank is for boys who have finished second grade (or are 9 years old). There
are 24 Bear achievements, 12 of which must be earned to be a Bear Cub Scout. The Cub
Scout will receive one red bead to add to his Progress Toward Ranks pocket emblem
for every three achievement completed toward his Bear Rank. These requirements are
harder and more challenging than those for the Wolf Badge. When a boy has earned his
Bear Badge, he may work on electives to earn Arrow Points to wear under his Bear Badge. |

Webelos dens are for boys who have completed third grade (or reached age 10). The Webelos den program is different from the Cub Scout den program. Everything in the Webelos Scout program is more challenging than what younger boys in the pack do. Webelos Scouts get to work on the 20 Webelos activity badges, which are worn on the "Webelos Colors" on the right sleeve below the den emblem:

Webelos Scouts work on requirements during their weekly den meetings. Once a boy learns a skill, he practices it at den meetings and at home on his own. His family helps him at home. Webelos Scouts bring the projects they do at home to the den meetings to show others, and to have the Webelos den leader approve their projects.
When a boy has done the requirements for an activity badge, the Webelos den leader or activity badge counselor, rather than a parent, approves most of the activity badges. It takes three activity badges, including Fitness and Citizen, to earn the Webelos badge.
Besides earning activity badges, Webelos Scouts can earn the compass points emblem. This emblem is awarded after a Webelos Scout has earned seven activity badges. For each four activity badges a Webelos Scout earns after that, he receives a compass point—east, west, north, and south.
