Taking the next Step

 

This is were we try to give you a look into your future. Whether you just joined the Pack or you’re an old salt, it is always nice to have an idea of what is coming up. So we hope this will give you an idea of what you next year in scouting will be like.

 We have divided the page into three sections. First I have asked each den leader to send me a short summery of what they did this year and what they hope to do next year. Second is the summary table below for each rank.  And third is a indebt look at each year.

Cub Scout Colors
The Cub Scout colors are blue and gold. The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. 
The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness. Together, they symbolize what Cub Scouting is all about.

 

Tiger Cub

This is the first step of Cub Scouting. As a Tiger, our motto is Search, Discover, Share. We go on field trips "Go and See Its" to check out local places; we participate in family activities and den activates. At the end of our Tiger year, we earn our Bobcat badge as we move upward into a Wolf den.

Wolf Scout

This step is where many boys join Cub Scouting. As a Wolf, we learn to listen to our Akela and learn the law of the pack.. The Wolf Book has twelve achievements for us to complete to earn our Wolf badge--things such as learning about tools and the flag; testing our skills in outdoor activities; starting a collection; and learning about cooking. After we earn our Wolf, we can continue to learn and earn arrow points until we graduate into a Bear den

Bear Scout

This is an exciting step to start at. As a Bear, we are really branching out and exploring all sorts of exciting things--the Bear Book has 24 different achievements available, 12 of which we need to complete to earn our Bear badge. Some of the achievements include exploring our family's heritage, more flag etiquette, simple cooking, model building, and knot tying. After we earn our Bear, we can also earn arrow points until we graduate into a Webelos den.

Webelos

This is the two year phase of Cub Scouting that prepares boys for Boy Scouts. As a Webelo, there are 20 different activity pins that can be earned, as well as an award called the Arrow of Light. The various pins that we can earn include such diverse activities as forester, geologist, scientist, communicator, craftsman, fitness, and aquanaut. These activities are even more challenging, but are especially geared towards what we need to know to earn merit badges in Boy Scouts.
