Ranks

For Cub Scouts who are 5 or in Kindergarten.  To begin his path to the Lion rank, the Lion will be introduced to the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute. To earn the Lion badge, a Cub Scout must complete five adventures. After he has earned the Lion badge, a Lion can work on the seven elective adventures.

For Cub Scouts who have finished Kindergarten.  To begin his path to the Tiger rank, the Tiger must learn the Cub Scout promise, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout salute.  To earn the Tiger badge, a Cub Scout must complete five achievements.   After he has earned the Tiger badge, a Tiger Cub can work on the fifty electives to earn Tiger track beads. 

For Cub Scouts who have finished first grade. To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must complete twelve achievements. After he has earned the Wolf badge, a Wolf Cub Scout can work on the twenty-three Wolf electives to earn arrow points.

Cub Scouts who have finished second grade. There are Twenty-four Bear achievements in four groups. A boy must complete twelve of these achievements to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are harder and more challenging than those for the Wolf badge. When a boy has earned his Bear badge, he may work on twenty-five electives to earn Arrow Points to wear under his Bear badge.

Cub Scouts who have completed third grade. The Webelos den program is different from the Cub Scout den program. Everything in the Webelos Scout program is more challenging than what younger boys in the pack do. Webelos Scouts get to work on the 20 Webelos activity badges.

After a boy has completed the fourth grade and earned the WEBELOS badge, the next step on the WEBELOS trail to becoming a Boy Scout is earning the Arrow of Light Award.  This is the highest award a Cub Scout can earn, and is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the Boy Scout Uniform.  It's tougher to earn than the WEBELOS badge.  The Cub Scout will have to earn the Webelos badge and at least eight activity badges, including Citizen, Readyman, and Fitness. The total must include one from each of the five activity groups.
