- About Cub Scouting
- Cub Scouts form Dens based on grade level.
- Dens form a Pack, Tiger though Webelos II/Arrow of Light.
- Boys or Girls can join scouting at any time, based on their age or grade level.
- All Cub Scouts must earn the Bobcat Badge First.
- Achievements from earlier years cannot be earned.
- i.e. If a child joins as a wolf, they will enjoy all the benefits of scouting but will not be able to earn their tiger badge.
- Scouts don't need to earn achievements from earlier years to continue in scouting.
- A scout could join scouting in fifth grade and could earn his "Arrow of light" Achievement and continue into Boy scouts.
