Cub Scout Advancement

On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses from rank to rank, learning new skills as he goes. There are five ranks in Cub Scouts: Bobcat, Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear and Webelos. Each of the ranks and awards in Cub Scouting has its own requirements. As you advance through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging, to match the new skills and abilities you learn as you get older. Learn more
