BOBCAT is the first rank that EVERY boy MUST earn when entering the Cub Scouting Program.
The TIGER CUB rank is for boys who are in the 1st Grade or are 7 years old. This part of the boy scout trail is an exciting introduction to the scouting program and is intended to take one school year. Tiger Cubs may also earn other awards.
The WOLF CUB rank is for boys who are in the 2nd Grade or are 8 years old. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year. Wolf Cubs may also earn other awards.
WEBELOS is a 20 month program for boys who are in the 4th and 5th Grades or are 10 years old to prepare to join a Boy Scout troop while learning outdoors skills and participating in 20 different activity badges. The Webelos program has two major milestones -- the Webelos rank badge (to be earned by February of the 1st year) and the Arrow of Light (to be earned by February of the 2nd year). The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Boy Scout troop selected individually by the scout. Webelos may also earn other awards.
