If a Cub Scout has completed the first grade (or is 8 years old) and has earned the BOBCAT BADGE, he may start to earn the Wolf Rank. He receives a Wolf Scout Handbook, Wolf Neckerchief, and Wolf Neckerchief Slide when beginning the Wolf portion of the Boy Scout Trail. He will also need a blue CUB SCOUT UNIFORM. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin to earn his Bear Rank after he completes second grade.
After earning the Wolf Badge by completeing 58 of the 74 available achievement tasks, the scout may earn arrow points by completing electives. There are 12 achievement areas and 23 elective topics that might interest your scouts.
The Wolf badge must be earned first before any arrow points are awarded. A GOLD arrow point is awarded for the first 10 electives. A SILVER arrow point is awarded for each additional 10 tasks completes. Since all arrow points are awarded after the Wolf Badge is awarded, your scouts will not receive any of the awards until after the Blue and Gold Pack meeting in June.
However, to provide frequent recognition, Wolf Scouts can earn PROGRESS BEADS. For completing the requirements of three of the achievements listed below, One Yellow Bead is awarded and placed on the PROGRESS TOWARDS RANKS totem. This provides the scout with a total of FOUR Beads culminating in the award of his Wolf Badge. These beads are awarded at the Den level rather than at the PACK MEETINGS.
Much of the advancement for the Wolf rank is done by the scout with his family outside the Den. The parent signs off in the Scout's handbook and the Den Leader records the advancements from the handbook to tracking chart or software program. As the Tiger program was completley family oriented, so the Wolf program relies heavily on Family Ivvolvement.
Pack 141 fully intends to supplement the above Wolf program with the CUB SCOUT BELT LOOPS program to provide further opportunities for your scouts in the following categories
1) Good Manners
2) Good Citizenship
3) Heritage
4) Hiking
5) Photography
