The Tiger Cub program is an introduction for boys and their parents into the world of Cub Scouting. Tiger Cubs are for those boys who are in the first grade. Similar to Cub Scouts, they wear a uniform, meet in Dens and have a Den Leader. The program is based on shared leadership by including an adult partner (parent or guardian) for each Scout in the activities. Each month or activity, the Den Leader will work with a Tiger/Partner team to plan the meeting based on one of the requirements of the Tiger Cub Badge or electives.
The Tiger Cub Motto is Search, Discover, Share. This is an integrated part of all the activities the Tigers are involved in. The requirements for the Tiger Cub Badge are based on giving a Scout the opportunity to Search the world around them, share their experiences and discover new skills.
The requirements for the Tiger Cub Badge are based on completing each of three parts of five distinct themes. Each of the five themes includes a family activity, a Den activity and a Go See It activity.
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 achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.
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 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. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements - all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.
