There are several levels/ranks in Cub Scouts. The following will provide you with a list of these stages. While we encourage boys to join us in the Tiger years and progress through our whole program, we accept boys of any age and rank to become part of pack 1.

Chipmunk: Age <6
This is an unofficially recognized group unique to Pack 1. At each pack meeting, the Scoutmasters acknowledge the siblings of Scouts under the age of 6. Stickers are presented and each Chipmunk receives a thundering round of applause.

Tiger: Grade 1
This is the first level of Cub Scouts. These first graders learn the meaning of Scouting and are primed to become active members of Pack 1. Den meetings usually occur 1-2 times per month. A Scout parent is required to attend each meeting with their Tiger Cub. Tiger Cubs work on activities to receive belt bead awards at each pack meeting. At the end of the Tiger year, each Scout receives the first true Cub Scout award – the Bobcat pin. The Bobcat acknowledges a Scout’s official entrance into the Cub Scout ranks. At each Bobcat award ceremony, the pin is presented to each Scout “upside down.” When the Scout performs his first good deed, the parent turns the Bobcat pin “right-side-up.” In receiving the award, each Scout is “turned upside-down” to receive their pin by a parent or sponsor.

Wolf: Grade 2
This is the second level of Cub Scouts. If a Cub Scout has completed the first grade (or is 8 years old) he may begin working on his Wolf achievements. There are twelve: Feats of Skill, Your Flag, Keep Your Body Healthy, Know Your Home and Community, Tools for Fixing and Building, Start a Collection, Your Living World, Cooking and Eating, Be Safe at Home and on the Street, Family Fun, Duty to God, and Making Choices. Upon completion of the achievements, he is awarded the Wolf badge, and may continue to work on Wolf electives in twenty-two different areas. When a boy completes ten projects he receives a Gold Arrow Point. For each additional ten projects he receives a Silver Arrow Point.

Bear: Grade 3
This is the third level of Cub Scouts. When a Cub Scout has completed the second grade (or is 9 years old) he begins working on his Bear achievements. There are twenty-four achievements in four different groups: God, Country, Family, and Self. To achieve the Bear rank, the Cub Scout must earn his choice of twelve: one from the first group, three from the second group, and four from each of the third and fourth groups. The achievements are: Ways We Worship; Emblems of Faith; What Makes America Special?; Tall Tales; Sharing Your World with Wildlife; Take Care of Your Planet; Law Enforcement Is a Big Job!; The Past Is Exciting and Important; What's Cooking?; Family Fun; Be Ready!; Family Outdoor Adventures; Saving Well, Spending Well; Ride Right; Games-Games-Games!; Building Muscles; Information, Please; Jot It Down; Shavings and Chips; Sawdust and Nails; Build a Model; Typing It All Up; Sports, Sports, Sports; and Be a Leader. After achieving the Bear badge, a boy may concentrate on twenty-four Bear elective areas until he becomes a Webelos Scout. Gold and Silver Arrow Points are also awarded for these projects.

Webelo 1: Grade 4
After completing the third grade, a Cub Scout graduates with ceremony into a Webelos den. This is a special den for boys in the fourth or fifth grade (or who are 10 years old). The Webelos Scout program is more challenging to the older boy - in fact, he's now called a Webelos Scout and wears a different uniform signifying his new status. The Webelos Scout's advancement is approved by his Webelos den leader rather than his parent. He begins work immediately on the Webelos badge. In addition, he can earn twenty Webelos activity badges: Aquanaut, Artist, Athlete, Citizen, Communicator, Craftsman, Engineer, Family Member, Fitness, Forester, Geologist, Handyman, Naturalist, Outdoorsman, Readyman, Scholar, Scientist, Showman, Sportsman, and Traveler. As a fifth grader (or at age 10) he may earn Cub Scouting's highest award - the Arrow of Light Award. After receiving this award, he is eligible to become a Boy Scout, or he may join a troop at age 11 (or when he completes the fifth grade).

Webelo 2: Grade 5
This is the second year of Webelos Scouting.
