Advancement in Ranks

As a parent, you want your boy to grow up to be self-reliant and dependable, a person of worth, a caring individual. Scouting has these same goals in mind for him. Since 1910 Cub Scouting has been weaving lifetime values into fun and educational activities designed to help parents teach their sons how to make good decisions throughout their lives and give them confidence as they become the adult leaders of tomorrow. In a society where your son is often taught that winning is everything, Cub Scouting teaches him to do his best and be helpful to others as expressed in the Cub Scout Promise, motto, and Law of the Pack. A Cub Scout den will involve your boy in a group of boys his own age where he can earn status and recognition. There he will also gain a sense of personal achievement from the new skills he learns.

Scouting Ranks
Cub Scouting is divided into age appropriate ranks to support the development of your son. Those ranks are:

Bobcat, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos and Arrow of Light.

Religious Awards
Boy Scouts of America offers four religious awards, two of which can only be earned as a Cub Scout. SSA Pack One encourages scouts to earn at least one of the two religious awards and earning both is preferred. For Roman Catholics the religious emblems are Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei. While scouts are in the 1st and 2nd grade they can earn the Light of Christ and when they are in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade they can earn the Parvuli Dei award. The highlighted links provide the requirements, click here for the instructions on obtaining the award from the Diocese.

Bobcat Rank

Cub Scout Bobcat Rank
These are the requirements as they appear
in the 2001 edition of the Wolf Cub Scout Book.

Bobcat Requirements

The very first rank that EVERY boy MUST earn when entering the Cub Scouting Program is the Bobcat. To earn the Bobcat rank the new Cub Scout must do the following:

Learn and say the CUB SCOUT PROMISE and complete the Honesty Character Connection.
a. Know: Discuss these questions with your family. What is a promise? What does it mean to "keep your word?" What does honesty mean? What does it mean to "do your best?"
b. Commit: Discuss these questions with your family. Why is a promise important? Why is it important for people to trust you when you give your word? When might it be difficult to keep your word? List examples.
c. Practice: Discuss with family members why it is important to be trustworthy and honest and how can you do your best to be honest when you are doing the activities in Cub Scouting.

CUB SCOUT PROMISE
"I .....(name).... promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack. "

Say the LAW OF THE PACK. Tell what it means.

"The Cub Scout follows Akela.

The pack helps the Cub Scout Grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill."

Tell what WEBELOS means - "WE'll BE LOyal Scouts "

Show the CUB SCOUT SIGN. Tell what it means.

With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the booklet.
How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse.
[Tiger Cub: With your adult partner, complete "A Bobcat Requirement" in front of the Contents pages of this handbook.]
[Webelos: With your parent or guardian, complete the Bobcat Requirements section of "How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide"). (The guide is a pull-out section that came in the front of this book.)]

The above items are the basic information that ALL Cub Scouts must learn, which is why EVERY boy who enters into Cub Scouting MUST earn the Bobcat Badge.

Tiger Club

Effective June 1, 2006, Boys must earn the Bobcat Badge before they begin working on the Tiger Cub rank. The Tiger Cub program is an introduction for boys and their parents into the world of Cub Scouting. Tiger Cubs are for those boys who are in the first grade. Similar to Cub Scouts, they wear a uniform, meet in Dens and have a Den Leader. The program is based on shared leadership by including an adult partner (parent or guardian) for each Scout in the activities. Each month or activity, the Den Leader will work with a Tiger/Partner team to plan the meeting based on one of the requirements of the Tiger Cub Badge or electives.

The Tiger Cub Motto is Search, Discover, Share. This is an integrated part of all the activities the Tigers are involved in. The requirements for the Tiger Cub Badge are based on giving a Scout the opportunity to Search the world around them, share their experiences and discover new skills.

One of the first things for the Tiger Cubs to do is to earn their Tiger Cub Totem. They will earn this at a special pack meeting in October if they learn and can recite/show:

	The Cub Scout Motto - Do Your Best
	The Cub Scout Sign
	The Cub Scout Salute

The requirements for the Tiger Cub Badge are based on completing each of three parts of five distinct themes:

Making My Family Special
Where I Live
Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe
How I Tell It
Let's Go Outdoors

Each of the five themes includes a family activity, a Den activity and a Go See It activity.

The totem is worn on the belt with the paw print side facing outwards. For each Tiger Cub Badge achievement they will receive a colored bead for their totem. This allows the Tigers to track their progress on their way to the Badge.

	White Beads - 1 white bead for each Family Activity they complete.
	Orange Beads - 1 orange bead for each Den Activity they complete.
	Black Beads - 1 black bead for each Go See It Activity they complete.

There are NO performance requirements for a boy. Simply participating and doing one's best in an activity constitutes completion.

Making My Family Special

The people who live with use are called our family. Most of us also have family members who live in other places. Every family is different and every family is special. These activities will help you to learn more about your family.

	Think of one chore you can do with your adult partner. Complete it together. -- Character Connection: Responsibility
	Make a family scrapbook.
	Go to a library, historical society, museum, old farm, or historical building or visit an older person in your community. Discover how family life was the same and how it was different many years ago.

Where I Live

Some people live in big cities. Some live in small cities or towns. The nearest neighbors of some people live miles away on a farm; and some, in an apartment right next door. Wherever you live the buildings and homes around you and the people who live, work and play near you are called your community.

It is important to learn about your community. Communities are stronger when the people who live in them take care of them and are good neighbors to each other. As you learn more about your community, you will be more proud of it and become a better citizen.

	Look at a map of your community with your adult partner.
	Practice the Pledge of Allegiance with your Den and participate in a Den or Pack flag ceremony. -- Character Connection: Citizenship
	Visit a police station or fire station. Ask someone who works there how he or she helps people in your community.

Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe

Staying healthy and safe includes many things. To be as healthy as we can be, it is important to eat good foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise to keep our bodies strong. We also need to keep our bodies clean and brush our teeth regularly. To be safe, it is important to understand what to do in case of emergencies and to follow the rules we are taught about how to act when we feel uncomfortable with someone.

1	With your family, plan a fire drill and then practice it in your home.
2	With you adult partner, plan what to do if you became lost or separated from your family in a strange place.

Make a food guide pyramid.
-- Character Connection: Health and Fitness

Learn the rules of a game or sport. Then go watch an amateur or professional game or sporting event.

How I Tell It

When we talk with people, we communicate information to them about something we want them to know. We also communicate when we write, draw, sing, dance, or show pictures. We can communicate using our bodies or faces too, such as when we smile or frown. When you raise your hand in school, you are communicating to your teacher that you want to talk. The number of beads on you Tiger Cub belt totem communicates to people how many Tiger Cub achievement parts you have completed. People also communicate with telephones and computers and through television, radio, newspapers, magazines and books..

	At a family meal have each family member take turns telling the others one thing that happened to him or her that day. Remember to practice being a good listener while you wait for your turn. -- Character Connection: Respect
	Play "Tell It Like It Isn't". (Form a line. The first Tiger Cub or partner whispers one sentence to the second and so on down the line. The last one says the sentence out loud. How close is it to the original sentence?)
	Visit a television station, radio station or newspaper office. Find out how people there communicate to others.

Let's Go Outdoors

There is so much to do and learn outdoors! You can have fun exploring nature and looking at trees, flowers and animals. You can walk, run, play games and ride a bike. It is even fun to just sit outside and pay attention to all the things going on around you.

	Go outside and watch the weather. -- Character Connection: Faith
	With a crayon or colored pencil and a piece of paper, make a leaf rubbing.
	Take a hike with your Den.

After completing the fifteen Achievements, the Tiger Cub is awarded the Tiger Cub Patch.

Once they've earned the Tiger Cub Badge, they can earn yellow Tiger Track beads for their totem. For every 10 electives they complete they earn 1 Tiger Track bead. There are 50 electives to choose from in the Tiger Cub Scout Handbook ranging from indoor craft projects to outdoor adventures. Elective can be done by the Tiger and their adult partner at home or as a Den activity. A boy can work on both Achievements and electives concurrently, but he can't receive Tiger Track beads until he has earned the Tiger Cub Badge.

SSA Pack One encourages scouts to earn at least one of the two religious awards and earning both is preferred. For Roman Catholics the religious emblems are Light of Christ (only available to 1st and 2nd grade scouts) and Parvuli Dei (only available to scouts in grades 3-5). Click this link for details on earning either or both religious awards.

Tiger Cubs can also work on earning Cub Scout Academic and Sports Awards. These belt loops and pins can be earned for learning and practicing skills in a specialize area of study.

Wolf Rank

Wolf
This program is for boys that have completed 1st grade (or are 8 years old). Before he can become a Wolf Cub Scout, each boy must earn his Bobcat badge by learning the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, the Cub Scout Motto, and the meaning of the Secret Word "Webelos". He also must be able to show the Cub Scout sign, handshake and salute. He then begins the Wolf Trail, where he must complete a series of 12 Achievements to earn the Wolf badge.

The founder of Scouting, Sir Robert Baden-Powell of England, based his ideas for Cub Scouts on a Rudyard Kipling book called Mowgli's Brothers. The story is part of Kipling's Jungle Books series and is set in India. In the story, a young boy is separated from his family when his village is attacked by a tiger named Shere Khan. A family of wolves finds him and raises him. When the boy grows older, the family asks Akela, the great leader of the wolf pack, if he may join the pack. The pack council allows him to join so that they can protect him from Shere Khan and other dangers in the jungle.

Do your best as a Wolf Cub Scout, then join the fun as you work with your parents, your den leader, your Cub Scout friends, and Baloo on the Bear Cub Scout trail.

SSA Pack One encourages scouts to earn at least one of the two religious awards and earning both is preferred. For Roman Catholics the religious emblems are Light of Christ (only available to 1st and 2nd grade scouts) and Parvuli Dei (only available to scouts in grades 3-5). Click this link for details on earning either or both religious awards.

Wolf Badge Requirements

To earn the Wolf rank a Cub Scout must complete 58 tasks out of a possible 74 tasks that are offered in the book. After earning the Wolf badge by completing 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 completed. Since all arrow points are awarded after the Wolf badge is awarded, scouts will not receive any awards until February Blue & Gold Banquet at the earliest. To provide frequent recognition, Wolf scouts can earn Progress Beads. For completing the requirements of any 3 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 4 beads culminating in the award of his Wolf badge. If the Cub Scout has not previously earned the Bobcat Badge, it must be earned first. Note that these activities are primarily done at home and signed off by the parent after the boy has completed each task. The book is then shown to the Den Leader who records the progress and also signs the boy's book.
