| Welcome to Tiger Cubs! | | Tiger Cubs introduces boys and their adult partners to the excitement of Cub Scouting as they live the Tiger Cub motto together: Search, Discover, Share! The Tiger Cubs is for boys who are in the first grade (or 7 years old) and their adult partners. Before becoming a Tiger Cub, a boy must complete the Bobcat Requirements. The basic element of the Tiger Cubs is the Tiger Cub-adult partner team. They do all the family, den, and Go See It activities together.. The adult partner is responsible for seeing that the boy is successful with his advancement in Tiger Cubs. |
|  | To begin his path to the Tiger Cub rank, the Tiger Cub must learn the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. When he has learned these, he gets his Tiger Cub emblem, which is worn on his right pocket. As a boy finishes each part of the five Tiger Cub achievements, he earns an orange bead (for den activities), a white bead (for family activities), or a black bead (for "Go See Its"). When he has earned five beads of each color, he can receive his Tiger Cub badge. | Tiger Requirements |
| The Wolf Trail | The Wolf rank is for boys who have finished first grade (or who are 8 years old). The boy must complete the Bobcat Requirements before he can advance to rank of Wolf. Den meetings are planned and run by an adult den leader with the help of an assistant den leader. Den meeting activities are planned around the monthly theme and include playing games, making handicrafts, taking hikes and pursuing other outdoor fun, practicing skits and stunts in preparation for the next pack meeting, and taking part in simple ceremonies and songs. |
|  Wolf Requirements | To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass 12 achievements. His parent or guardian approves each achievement by signing his book. A Wolf Cub Scout can work on the 23 Wolf electives toward earning Arrow Points immediately, but none will be awarded until after the Wolf rank is earned. He can choose from more than 100 elective projects that may show him new hobbies and teach him skills that will be useful during his Boy Scout years. When he completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear under the Wolf badge. For each 10 elective projects after that, he earns a Silver Arrow Point. | |
| The Bear Trail | The Bear rank is for boys who have finished second grade (or are 9 years old). The boy must complete the Bobcat Requirements before he can advance to rank of Bear. Den meetings are planned and run by an adult den leader with the help of an assistant den leader. Den meeting activities are planned around the monthly theme and include playing games, making handicrafts, taking hikes and pursuing other outdoor fun, practicing skits and stunts in preparation for the next pack meeting, and taking part in simple ceremonies and songs. |
|  Bear Requirements | There are 24 Bear achievements in four groups. A boy must complete 12 of the achievements to earn the Bear rank. These requirements are harder and more challenging than those for the Wolf badge. One of the Bear achievements involves earning the "Whittling Chip" card. Earning this card shows that a Bear has learned the fundamentals of knife safety. A Bear Cub Scout can work on Bear electives toward earning Arrow Points immediately, but none will be awarded until after the Wolf rank is earned. When he completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear under the Wolf badge. For each 10 elective projects after that, he earns a Silver Arrow Point. | |

Please view our contact list and calendar. | | 2nd Year Webelos | After the Webelos Scout has earned the Webelos badge, he will focus on the requirements for the Arrow of Light Award. Working on these requirements gives him a chance to practice some Scouting skills that he has already learned, earn more activity badges, and learn more about Boy Scouting. 
The Arrow of Light Award is the highest award a boy can earn as a Cub Scout. This recognition is the only Cub Scout badge authorized to be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform when a boy graduates into a troop. Webelos Scouts who have earned have earned the Arrow of Light Award have also completed all the requirements for the Boy Scout Badge. The Arrow of Light Award displays a universal symbol for the sun and, below it, an arrow. The seven rays of the sun stand for each day of the week. They remind you to do your best every day as you follow the arrow that leads you to Boy Scouting. Check the calendar for Webelos 2 outings withTroop 198! | | |
