Wolf

The Wolf Rank is for children who are in the 2nd grade (ages 7–8). At this stage in Cub Scouting, Wolf Scouts begin to take more initiative in their activities, developing skills in teamwork, independence, and responsibility. While family support is still encouraged, Scouts work more directly with their den and leaders during meetings and outings.

The program continues to build on character development, outdoor skills, and citizenship, all in a fun, adventure-based format.

Key Features:

• Adventure-Based Learning: To earn the Wolf badge, Scouts must complete six required adventures and at least two elective adventure.

• Hands-On Activities: Adventures are designed to help Scouts explore the world around them, practice healthy habits, and learn key life skills.

• Growth in Responsibility: Scouts begin doing more tasks independently, with less hands-on involvement from adult partners compared to previous ranks.

• Uniform: Wolf Scouts wear the traditional blue Cub Scout uniform with the red Wolf neckerchief and slide. Wolves are encouraged to get the blue Cub Scout belt to display their adventure belt loops earned.
