Bobcat is the first rank that your
boy will earn as a Cub Scout . The three most important things a
boy must learn as a Bobcat are the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of
the Pack, and the Cub Scout Motto. These are important because
they will help him through all of the trails of Scouting.
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 goodwill.
Cub Scout Motto
Do Your Best.

Wolf is begun after earning the
Bobcat badge.
The Wolf rank is for boys who have completed first grade(or are
age 8). This is a big adventure for a boy, one the Boy Scouts of
America hopes all boys will complete. How quickly your boy
progresses is up to him and you. He should do his best to complete
each requirement; that's a part of the promise he made to become a
Bobcat and it is the Cub Scout motto-Do Your Best. The important
thing is to keep him interested by working on the trail with him
as often as possible.

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 the Wolf rank. |

Webelos
is a 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. |

The Arrow of Light Award is the highest rank
in Cub Scouting. It is tougher to earn than the Webelos badge. You 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.
By the time you have earned the Arrow of Light
Award, you will have learned many things about a lot of subjects - and a
lot about Boy Scouting.
It will be a proud day for you when you get the Arrow of Light
Award. It is Cub Scouts highest award. It is the only Cub Scout
badge you can wear on your Boy Scout uniform |
