Cub Scout Pack

Located in Raleigh, NC
New Hope Baptist Church

Cub Scouting is designed for boys 1st through 5th grade (ages 6-10)

	Tiger Cubs	Designed for boys in the first grade and their adult partners. It allows the boy and adult to build strong relationships with each other, the rest of the family, and with other members of the Tiger Cub’s den. The main emphasis of Tiger Cubs is fun for a boy and adult, but many of the activities are suitable for participation by the rest of the family as well.
	Bobcat	This rank must be earned by all Scouts. For most scouts this badge is earned before their age appropriate rank. For Tiger Cubs, this badge is earned after the Tiger Cub Badge is earned.
	Wolf	The Wolf Den is for boys in the Second grade. During this year boys will work towards receiving their Wolf badge and earning Arrow Points and Belt Loops and Pins. Den Meetings are usually held once a week, in the den meeting boys participate in crafts, sports, and may also work on some of the requirements of the Wolf Badge, Arrow Points, or Belt Loops and Pins.
	Bear	The Bear Den is for boys in the Third grade. Similar to the Wolf den, they work on earning their Bear Badge, Arrow Points and Belt Loops and Pins. The Bear Badge requirements will introduce age appropriate tasks for the boy to complete
	Webelos	WeBeLoS (Named from the "We'll Be Loyal Scouts") is designed for older boys who are preparing to enter Boy Scouts. The program is designed for boys in grades 4 and 5, respectively.
		Once a boy goes beyond the fifth grade or he turns 11, he is then eligible to join Boy Scouts
* All boys entering Cub Scouts must first work towards their Bobcat badge regardless of age or grade. Once their Bobcat rank has been obtained they can then work on the age appropriate badge. The exception to the order in which badges are earned is for 1st graders, they first earn their Tiger Cub Badge.
The Scouting concept was started by Lord Baden-Powell (Taken from http://www.scouting.org/nav/about.html) Robert S. S. Baden-Powell "As a youth, Robert Baden-Powell greatly enjoyed the outdoors, learning about nature and how to live in the wilderness. After returning as a military hero from service in Africa, Baden-Powell discovered that English boys were reading the manual on stalking and survival in the wilderness he had written for his military regiment. Gathering ideas from Ernest Thompson Seton, Daniel Carter Beard, and others, he rewrote the manual as a nonmilitary nature skill book and called it Scouting for Boys. To test his ideas, Baden-Powell brought together 22 boys to camp at Brownsea Island, off the coast of England. This historic campout was a success and resulted in the advent of Scouting. Thus, the imagination and inspiration of Baden-Powell, later proclaimed Chief Scout of the World, brought Scouting to youth the world over."
