Tiger Cubs is an exciting introduction to the scouting program for boys who are or 7 and/or in the first grade. Tiger Cubs do stuff - lots of stuff - with their adult partners. The program is intended to open up the world to inquisitive minds with the caring guidance of adults. The first steps along the Boy Scout Trail are completed here and every rank advancement through the scouting program builds on the basic categories of activity done as Tigers.

The Tiger Cub program runs on two levels. Together, the scout and his adult partner complete activities centered around the family. Then, the scout and adult partner meet with the rest of the Tiger den to fulfill Den Activity and Go See It requirements.




Wolf Scouts are boys who have completed the first grade or are 8 years old. The Wolf Scout brings challenges appropriate to boys at this stage of their growth. Boys receive a Wolf Scout handbook, Wolf neckerchief, and Wolf neckerchief slide when beginning the Wolf portion of the boy scout trail. He will also need a blue Cub Scout Uniform. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin earning his Bear rank after he completes second grade.

Your Wolf den will have opportunities to participate in Pack meetings. Prepare your scouts by having them ready to perform a couple of Skits and lead the pack in some Games. By having a Wolf favorite ready, your scouts will look good, have fun, and increase their confidence through leading the pack.


Bear Scouts are boys who have completed the second grade or are 9 years old, and have earned the Bobcat Badge.  He receives a Bear Scout handbook and Bear neckerchief, but continues to use the Wolf neckerchief slide when beginning the Bear portion of the boy scout trail. He will continue to use the blue Cub Scout Uniform. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin earning his Webelos rank after he completes third grade.

Your Bear den will have opportunities to participate in Pack meetings. Prepare your scouts by having them ready to perform a couple of Bear Scout Skits and lead the pack in some Games. By having a Bear favorite ready, your scouts will look good, have fun, and increase their confidence through leading the pack.

 



Webelos
is a 20 month program for 4th and 5th grade boys to prepare to join a Boy Scout troop while learning outdoors skills and participating in 20 different activity badges. A well-run group of Webelos is a gradual change from being an 'adult-run' den to being a 'boy-run' patrol ready to fit right into an adventurous scouting troop. This migration requires the parents and den leaders to give the scouts more and more control, decision-making power, and responsibility as they progress in skills, abilities, and maturity. A good program also provides the scouts with many opportunities to grow in the Webelos Virtues.

 

Webelos Program:

The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos rank badge to be earned around February of 4th grade and the Arrow of Light to be earned around February of 5th grade. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Boy Scout troop selected individually by the scout.
