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. The Cub Scout Program has two basic features, Rank Advancement, and the Academics and Sports Program.
Cub Scouts joining as First Grade boys enter the Tiger Cub Program. Tiger Cubs, complete Achievements to earn the Tiger Cub Badge, and complete Electives to receive Tiger Track Beads to wear from a belt emblem.
Boys graduating from Tiger Cub Dens, or joining Cub Scouts in the Second Grade
or above, first earn their
Bobcat Badge. After earning the
Bobcat Badge, they proceed to work on advancement specific to their age level.
As part of these requirements, they must learn the
Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout Motto.

Wolf Badge, then toward a
Gold Arrow Point and one or more Silver Arrow Points The requirements for
these badges are found in the Wolf Cub Scout Book.
