Tiger
|
|
|
Any boy who is 7 years old or in first grade can join as a Tiger. First, you earn your Bobcat badge. The Tiger Cub motto is "Search, Discover, Share." The program transitions the boys (and parents!) into the Cub Scouting program. Each Tiger Cub joins with a parent partner and forms a team. Dens meet regularly and take field trips monthly. Siblings are not permitted to attend the meeting, since they become a distraction to the team. Tiger Cub groups operate on a system called "shared leadership." Each boy/adult team takes their turn in providing leadership once or twice to participate in "Big Ideas" with help from a coordinator. In this way, each boy has the opportunity to serve in a leadership role with an adult partner during his Tiger Cub experience. The Tiger group also attends the monthly Pack meeting. |

Wolf
|
|
|
Any boy who is 8 years old or in second grade can join as a Wolf. First, you must earn your Bobcat rank. A Wolf den meets regularly to complete 12 Achievements and up to 22 Electives so each boy may earn his rank and arrow points by May. The Wolf den also participates in the monthly pack meeting. Parents are encouraged to attend den and pack meetings. Rank advancements are not given without a parent or guardian present. There are 4 to 10 boys in a Wolf den, and at least two adult leaders. The boys all have a turn at serving as denner to help them practice leadership. Siblings are not permitted to attend the meeting, since they become a distraction. However, parents are encouraged to attend if they wish. Parents are expected to help as needed. |

Bear
|
|
|
Any boy who is 9 years old or in third grade can join as a Bear. But first, you must earn your Bobcat rank, if you haven't already. Like the Wolves, a bear den is comprised of 4-8 boys and at least two adult leaders. Boys take turns as denner throughout the year. A Bear den meets weekly to complete 12 of 24 Achievements and up to 24 Electives so each boy may earn his rank and arrow points by May. The Bear den also attends and participates in the monthly pack meeting. In keeping with Cub Scouting's family-oriented principle, parents are encouraged to attend den meetings and pack meetings. Rank advancements are not given at the pack meeting without a parent or guardian present. |

Webelos
|
|
|
Any boy who is 10 or 11 years old, or in fourth or fifth grade, can join as a Webelos. But first, you must earn your Bobcat rank, if you haven't already. A Webelos patrol is made up of 4-8 boys and at least two adult leaders. Boys alternate being patrol leader. Webelos meet weekly to complete 20 Activities to earn rank badges, compass points, and the Arrow of Light. Webelos begin to experience outdoor activities, such as family camping. The Webelos patrol also attends and participates in the monthly pack meeting. Parents are expected to help with at least one activity in a patrol meeting, and will need to be involved during outdoor activities such as camping. |
