What is Cub Scouting?
Cub Scouting is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age).
Cub Scouts are organized by grade levels into ranks and dens, and are led by adult leaders. The dens together with the adult leaders and the committee form the pack. First grade boys are Tiger Scouts, second grade boys are Wolf Scouts, third grade boys are Bear Scouts, fourth grade boys are Webelos Scouts, and fifth grade boys are Webelos II Scouts.
Each of the ranks is earned by completing age appropriate activities and requirements, and by demonstrating a willingness to behave according to the ideals of Cub Scouting.
When a boy completes the Cub Scouting program he is ready for the next step, Boy Scouting!
Bobcat. All Grades.
The Bobcat rank is the first rank for all boys who join Cub Scouting.
Tiger Cub. 1st Grade.
The Tiger Cub program is for first-grade (or age 6) boys and their adult partners. There are five Tiger Cub achievement areas. The Tiger Cub, working with his adult partner, completes 15 requirements within these areas to earn the Tiger Cub badge. These requirements consist of an exciting series of indoor and outdoor activities just right for a boy in the first grade.
Wolf. 2nd Grade.
The Wolf program is for boys who have completed first grade (or are age 7). To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass 12 achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.
Bear. 3rd Grade.
The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 8). There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank.
Webelos. 4th - 5th Grade.
This program is for boys who have completed third grade (or are age 9). A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Handbook, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.
Activities
Cub Scouting means "doing." Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting?citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.
Advancement Plan
Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scouting advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects.
Cub Scout Academics and Sports
The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program provides the opportunity for boys to learn new techniques, increase scholarship skills, develop sportsmanship, and have fun. Participation in the program allows boys to be recognized for physical fitness and talent-building activities.
Camping
Age-appropriate camping programs are packed with theme-oriented action that brings Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts into the great out-of-doors. Day camping comes to the boy in neighborhoods across the country; resident camping is at least a three-day experience in which Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts camp within a developed theme of adventure and excitement.

Den meetings? Who's in charge ?
All the Tiger/Adult Partner teams take a turn hosting a den meeting. Twice a month, the Den Leader and the Adult Partner Host will hold a one hour Den meeting based on a monthly theme or following parts of an achievement. It's Fun and really not a lot of work either.
The Tiger Cub dens are a part of the Pack. Tiger Cub dens meet once a month for a Pack Meeting. This is were we can recognize the achievements of Scouts as they progress up the ranks. Were they can show off a little (games, songs and skits) and we get information out to parents and Scouts. There are a lot of great special activities throughout the year. This meeting is control Chaos and the boys love it
