The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
Tiger Cubs are our youngest Scouts, they have den meetings twice a month, participate in a "go-see-it" once a month, and a monthly pack meeting. Tiger cubs require an adult partner at all meetings, and it's a great way to build a lasting bond with your boy. We earn our Bobcat rank by learning the fundamentals of Cub Scouting, and receive lots of encouragement by earning beads for family activites,den and pack activities.
Wolfs: 2nd Grade, Age 7
Wolf Cubs have weekly or semi-weekly meetings to work on their progress towards Wolf rank, earn belt loops, and participate in activities from crafts to sports to citizenship.
Bears: 3rd Grade, Age 8
The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9). There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank.
Webelos II: 5th Grade, Age 10
The second year of Webelos sees us working toward the Arrow of Light: the highest award in Cub Scouts, and the only Cub rank award allowed on the Boy Scout uniform. In January, our Webelos "bridge over" to Boy Scouts, in time to participate in Boy Scout summer camp.
