About the Scouting Program



The scouting program begins with Cub Scouts.  Boys can start in the first grade as Tigers and progress through the ranks of Cub Scouting with each subsequent year.  Fourth and fifth grade boys become part of the Webelos Cub Scout program that allows them to prepare for Boy Scouts.

Boys do not have to enter the scouting program as Tigers, though.  At any age, a boy may enter scouting in his respective rank and begin the program at that level.

Bobcat Badge
The first badge a Cub Scout Earns




Regardless of when a boy enters Cub Scouts, the first badge they must earn before any others is their Bobcat.  In order to earn the Bobcat, they must know the Cub Scout Salute, Cub Scout Handshake, Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack, and Cub Scout Motto.

Cub Scout Promise:
I promise to do my best to do my duty
To God and my country, To help other people,
And to obey the Law of the Pack.
 
Law of the Pack:
The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
The Cub Scout gives good will.
 
Cub Scout Motto:
Do Your Best

Once a scout earns His Bobcat Badge, he must wear it upside down until he does a good deed.

He can then begin to earn other awards in the program

Wolf Year (2nd Grade)

 

 

If a Cub Scout has completed the first grade (or is 8 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge, he may start earning the Wolf rank. 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.

Webelos Program (4th & 5th Grade)

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.
