THE CUB SCOUT ADVANCEMENT TRAIL

On the Cub Scout advancement trail, a child progresses from rank to rank, learning new skills as they go. The requirements get more challenging to match their new skills and abilities. Cub Scout advancement includes a wide range of group and individual activities kids enjoy. More importantly, the activities are carefully selected to encourage moral, physical, and intellectual development.

CUB SCOUTS DO FUN THINGS WHILE LEARNING

Cub Scouts are introduced to learning about their world in fun and exciting ways! They get to wear a cool uniform, visit interesting places, and see new things. They play all kinds of sports and build stuff like racecars and bird houses.

Outdoor adventures such as camping, hiking, and fishing convey an appreciation for nature's majesty and teach the importance of preserving our environment.

The Advancement Trail

On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses from rank to rank, learning new skills as they go. Each of the ranks and awards in Cub Scouting has its own requirements. As you advance through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging, to match the new skills and abilities you learn as you get older. For more visit scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/adventures.

Lion

The Lion program is for Cub Scouts who are in kindergarten and begins each year in August. The Lion program weaves traditional Scouting concepts of character development, leadership skills, personal fitness and citizenship into activities that are age-appropriate and fun for the Scouts and their parents. The Lion rank strip is earned when the Lion has completed six required Adventures and any two elective Adventures. Learn more at scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/adventures/lion.

Tiger

The Tiger program is for Cub Scouts who are in first grade or are age seven. To earn the Tiger badge, a Tiger Scout must complete six required Adventures and two elective Adventures. The parent or guardian and den leader approve each requirement by signing their book, and the Cub Scout receives an Adventure loop for each adventure. When the Cub Scout has met all requirements, the Tiger badge is presented to their parent or guardian at the next pack meeting. During an impressive ceremony, the parent or guardian then presents the badge to the Cub Scout. A Cub Scout can choose elective adventures to learn new hobbies and skills that will be useful during their years in a troop.Learn more at scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/adventures/tiger.
