Ranks

By completing adventures, Cub Scouts advance through the ranks. Each rank has six required adventures from common themes:

• Character & Leadership

• Outdoors

• Personal Fitness

• Citizenship

• Personal Safety

• Family & Reverence

To complete their rank, Scouts also complete two elective adventures chosen from a wide array of topics including STEM, cycling, fishing, swimming, etc.

Scouts start in the den associated with their school grade.

• Kindergarten - Lion

• 1st Grade - Tiger

• 2nd Grade - Wolf

• 3rd Grade - Bear

• 4th Grade - Webelos

• 5th Grade - Arrow of Light

Lions and Tigers work with their adult partner (parent/guardian) to complete simple, fun adventures. Wolves and Bears begin to complete more complicated adventures with limited adult help. Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts start leading themselves and focus on preparing to join a BSA troop.
