Advancement Plan
The responsibility of a boy's advancement in Cub Scouting lies with the family and not with the pack.
Some advancement requirements are done at den meetings, but most are done at home with the family.
The Cub Scout Advancement program is an excellent way for you to spend quality time with your son.
For each special skill or activity your son completes with you, you can sign off one of the requirements he needs to earn his next award.
As a result, the awards he earns increases his knowledge, skills, self-esteem and confidence.
You can be a part of it by participating in the Cub Scout program with him.
The rank awards he earns are listed below. Click on the rank icon to see more about that rank.

Bobcat (Earned buy ALL NEW Cub Scouts)

BEAR (Third Graders)

A Cub Scout, who is in the third grade works to complete 12 of 24 achievements to earn the Bear badge.

begin work on the next rank. For every 10 electives a boy completes, he earns an Arrow Point.
A boy may earn as many Arrow Points as he wishes.

WEBELOS (Fourth & Fifth Graders)

When a Cub Scout has completed the third grade, (or becomes 10 years old), he transfers to a Webelos den, led by an adult
Webelos leader. The boy works on requirements for the Webelos badge, 20 activity pins, and the Arrow of Light Award
(the highest award in Cub Scouting) which prepares him for Boy Scouting.

ARROW OF LIGHT
|
|
When a boy earns the Arrow of Light or reaches 11 years of age or completes the fifth grade, he may graduate from Cub Scouting
to Boy Scouting at an impressive graduation ceremony. We aim to graduate every Cub Scout into Boy Scouting.
Generally your son will be prepared to join a Boy Scout troop in February or March of his fifth grade year.
