Cub Scout Parent Information Guide

Welcome to the Adventure of Cub Scouting. Where Character Counts and the Adventure Begins! For Boys in Grades 1-5

Tiger Cubs are boys from the first grade. The primary goal is to get them aquainted with scouting, learn the basics and to have fun!! The requirements are relativley easy and are centered on family, health, community, and faith. The boy also get to make a lot of crafts, play games and participate in team building activities.

The first step is to get them on the Bobcat trail. They need to know the Cub Scout Motto, handshake and salute. They must also know the Cub Scout Promise and the Law Of The Pack. Once these goals are acheived, they can then start to work toward their Tiger Cub rank.

Tiger Cubs need as adult partner at each den and pack meeting. There is alot going on and one den leader just isn't enough!! Please feel free to dive in and have fun! before you know ityou may want to plan a meeting. The boy's excitement is contagious!!


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. He receives a Wolf Scout handbook, Wolf neckerchief, and Wolf neckerchief slide when beginning the Wolf portion of the boy scout trail. He will also need a blue Cub Scout Uniform. 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. Your Wolf den will have opportunities to participate in Pack meetings.

Much of the advancement for the Wolf rank is done by the scout with his family outside of the den. The parent signs off in the scout's handbook and the Den Leader records the advancements from the handbook to tracking chart or software program. As the Tiger program was completely family oriented, so the Wolf program relies heavily on family involvement. You will see this gradually change with the scout doing more with his den and more individual direction as he reaches Webelos and Boy Scouts.


If a Cub Scout has completed the second grade (or is 9 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge, he may start earning the Bear rank. He receives a Bear Scout handbook and Bear neckerchief, but continues to use the Wolf neckerchief slide when beginning the Bear portion of the boy scout trail. He will continue to use the blue Cub Scout Uniform. This part of the boy scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin earning his Webelos rank after he completes third grade.

Your Bear den will have opportunities to participate in Pack meetings. They can do skits, which are always fun and hit withe the boys. They can also help set up a game to be played at the pack meeting. These activities help build confidence and leadership.

In the Bear scouting program, there are 4 general achievement groups: God, Country, Family, and Self and a total of about 120 individual achievement tasks. In each group, a certain number of achievements are required to earn the Bear rank badge. After earning the Bear badge, the scout may earn arrow points by completing additional achievement tasks.


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.

The Webelos program has two major milestones - the Webelos rank badge to be earned around February of 4th grade and the Arrow of Light to be earned around February of 5th grade. The final part of Webelos is bridging over into a Boy Scout troop selected individually by the scout. Once the goals of Webelos are understood, the methods of the program make a lot of sense! There are a few major changes between Cub Scouts and Webelos scouts that are very important to the success of your program. Some adult leaders and parents find it difficult to adjust to these changes so a Parent Meeting to discuss expectations and changes from Cub Scouts is critical to your success. Use parents to plan and lead individual activity badges. The Webelos den leader will have more paperwork and tracking than the wolf or bear den leader.

Take Flight



These pictures are from the Pack's April pack meeting "Take Flight" . The cub Scouts got to build airplains for the airplain derby. The Cub Scouts got to shoot off bottles. WOW!! The bollets went high. The Cub Scouts also got to learn about about Cooperation. They had to try to stack coffee cans. The Tigers kick about trying to build a big pyramid and getting to knock it down.

Logan Moore our Den Chief from the Troop also is a character in their next play "Willy Wonka"
