Bobcat: Before becoming a Tiger, all boys must become a Bobcat, the first step in Cub Scouts.  Each boy is required to learn and understand the Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack and Cub Scout Motto, and demonstrate the Cub Scout Sign and Cub Scout Salute, before they can begin the age-appropriate badge.

 

Tiger: First grade boys who join Cub Scouts are enrolled in the entry-level program known as Tigers.  The motto of the Tigers is “Search, Discover, and Share” as Tigers and their parents are introduced to the fun and excitement of Cub Scouting.  Tiger Cub Dens meet at least once a month and preferably twice, and the meeting location and activities are usually rotated among the families or held at St. Timothy School.

 

Wolf: Cub Scouts in the second grade participate in the Wolf program.  After earning their Wolf Badge they may work on and earn Arrow Points for completed activities specific to their age level.  The entire list of requirements for the Wolf Badge is listed in the Wolf Cub Scout Handbook.

 

 

Bear: In the third grade, Cub Scouts are called Bears.  If they have not already earned the Bobcat Badge, they must do this first before beginning to earn the Bear Badge.  The entire list of requirements for the Bear Badge is listed in the Bear Cub Scout Handbook.

 

 

 

Webelos: The Webelos program is a two-year program for fourth and fifth graders.  Webelos work on earning Activity Pins in 20 different areas, arranged into five groups: outdoors, mental skills, technology, physical skills, and community.  Fourth graders, known as Webelos I, work toward their Webelos Badge, and then may earn additional Activity Pins for Compass Points.

 

 

Arrow of Light: Fifth graders, known as Webelos II, work on their Arrow of Light Rank and their transition into the Boy Scout program.  The Arrow of Light is the highest rank in Cub Scouting and the only Cub Scout Badge that can be worn on the Scout and Adult uniform.  All of these requirements are outlined in the Webelos Handbook.
