Cub Scouting is very similar to Boy Scouting. Fellowship and advancement are integral components of the program. In Cub Scouting advancement is designed to keep boys at about the same age working together as well. The ranks in Cub Scouts is as follows:

	Tiger Cubs BSA is a simple and fun program for first-grade boys and their families. The Tiger Cub program introduces boys and their adult partners to the excitement of Cub Scouting as they "Search, Discover, and Share" together.

	The first rank, Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub Scouting.

	The Wolf program is for boys who have completed first grade (or are age 8). To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass twelve achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.

	The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9). There are twenty-four Bear achievements in four different categories. The Cub Scout must complete twelve of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank.

	This program is for boys who have completed third grade (or are age 10). A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements - all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.

	The arrow of light is the highest rank in Cub Scouting. It is the only Cub Scout badge that can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform.
