WHAT IS CUB SCOUTING? Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade. Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions.
The Advancement Plan
Bobcat. The Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub Scouting. They must earn this rank before any other.
Webelos. This 2 year program is for boys who are in 4th and 5th grade. This is the first step in his transition from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Handbook, he will work on activity badges and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.
