Pack 465 arranges kid-focused activities that are fun, active, educational, safe, and with children their age. These include lots of outdoor exploring and camping, citizenship, hobbies, science, and physical fitness. Your Scout will be challenged appropriately at each level of Cub Scouts.
The Program rank for each grade is listed below. A rank is earned by completing the requirements of specific Adventures, or activities, as outlined in that rank’s Guidebook. Scouts gain a sense of accomplishment and achievement by earning beltloops for each Adventure they complete. Earned beltloops are metal badges that thread over the blue cloth Cub Scout uniform belt and can be displayed proudly.
The Adventures are often completed in a Den, which is the social unit, for that rank. Youth of the same age meet to engage in various activities, socialize, and learn together. The Den is led by an adult or parent of a Scout in that Den. It is often best if there are two co-leads per Den. Parents are also encouraged to support the Den by leading activities, assembling materials, and providing their own guidance and aid to their Scout.
Research shows that childhood development accelerates around ages four and five, about the time youth begin formal education. To supplement the learning and growth children experience at home and in a formal educational environment, Boy Scouts of America developed a program for kindergarten children called “Lion.”
Parents of Lions meet together to play and navigate the adventures in their Lion activity books. The Lions and their Adult Partners form a team or “Den” and work with their new friends and experience community engagement at Pack meetings.
BOBCAT CUB
BOBCAT CUB
The Bobcat rank is the entry-level rank for all Cub Scouts.
The Bobcat badge is the first badge that is earned by all Cub Scouts Tiger rank and above. This badge is required for all Scouts because it involves learning the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack and other fundamental aspects of Cub Scouting. Completion of this badge gives the Scout the right to wear the Bobcat patch on his uniform and the right to proceed to his next rank.
The Tigers are children in 1st grade or who are 6 or 7 years old.
In the Tigers program, Scout and an Adult Partner form a team. Den meetings are organized and run by the Tiger Den Leader with support from the Adult Partners. These meetings work through the activities to build skills as outlined in the Tiger Guidebook, which progresses them towards their Tiger badge.
The Wolves are 2nd graders or are 7 years old.
In the Wolf program, completion of adventures found within the Wolf handbook leads to earning the Wolf badge and Adventure loops. The Wolf handbook includes many family-supported activities that focus on developing a team. Your child will need your assistance to earn this rank.
The Bears are boys which are in 3rd grade or are 8 years old.
In the Bear program, completion of Adventures in the Bear handbook leads to earning the Bear badge. The Bear handbook includes many activities that are family oriented and stretch Scouts to learn skills and develop self sufficiency. Your scout will need your assistance to earn this rank. At the end of the Scout year (in May/June), Bears graduate into a WEBELOS den.
The Webelos track is for 4th-5th grade boys in the 10-11 age range.
The WEBELOS program is designed to transition the Scouts from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. In the Webelos program, Scouts earn Adventure pins in areas such as geology, scholarship, fitness, and outdoorsmanship that count towards the Webelos rank.
The First-Year Webelos program focus on obtaining the Webelos badge, and the second year focuses on the Arrow of Light.
The Webelos Den works together as a team, much like a Boy Scout Patrol. Webelos Den camping is a common activity.
