After he has earned the Wolf badge, a Wolf Cub Scout can work on the 23 Wolf electives until he finishes 2nd grade (or turns 8 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 are in 3rd grade (or 9 years old). There are 24 Bear achievements in four groups. A boy must complete 12 of the achievements to be a Bear Cub Scout. 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
Webelos dens are for boys who are in
4th grade (or 10 years old). 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
ARROW OF LIGHT
The highest rank in Cub Scouting is the Arrow of Light Award. Earning this rank prepares a Webelos Scout to become a Boy Scout. Webelos Scouts who have earned the Arrow of Light Award have also completed all requirements for the Boy Scout badge. Cub Scouts bridge to Boy Scouts during February of their 5th grade year. Boys must be at least 11years of age to join Boy Scouts, OR completed their Arrow of Light requirements and at least 10 years of age.
The Arrow of Light award is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform when a boy graduates into a troop. Adult leaders who earned the Arrow of Light Award when they were young may also show their achievement by wearing a special square knot on their adult uniform.
