Cub Cyber Trail

Cub Scouts can use this page to investigate various educational and fun web sites and learn about the Cub Scout Trail. It is very important that Cub Scouts follow the BSA Personal Protection Rules for Computer On-line Services. This information can be found in your Cub Scout hand book. Always remember to keep your parents informed about what you are doing when on the Internet. If you wish to e-mail Akela (your Pack Cub Master or Pack Committee Chairperson), involve your parents too.

How Cubs Advance in the Pack

Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scout advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects.

Tiger Cubs BSA is a simple and fun program for first-grade boys and their families. The Tiger Cub program introduces boys and their adult partners to the excitement of Cub Scouting as they "Search, Discover, and Share" together.

The first rank, Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub Scouting. Scouts begin advancement by earning the Bobcat Badge. As part of these rquirements, they must learn the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack and the Cub Scout Motto.

The Wolf program is for boys who have completed first grade (or are age 8). To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass twelve

The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9). There are twenty-four Bear achievements in four different categories. The Cub Scout must complete twelve of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank.

This two-year program is for boys who have completed third grade (or are age 10). A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. They work toward earning Webelos Activity Pins in 24 different areas, aranged in five groups.  In this program the boys become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements - all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.

As a Cub Scout or Webelos Scout, you can also earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award, and a series of Cub Scout Sports and Academic Pins, Belt Loops and Letters. Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts can also earn a series of Religious Emblems awarded by a number of religious organizations. The age and rank requirements vary. BSA also has a Crime Prevention Award program which is available to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, Ventures, Explorers and participants in Learning for Life, as well as adults, family members and others.
