The Wolf Cub Scout program is for boys who have completed first grade (or
are age 8). After earning the
Bobcat badge, a boy may earn the Wolf badge by
completing 12 achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.

ADVANCEMENT

Yellow Beads (Red beads are for Bear Scouts)

Picture
The Wolf rank is for boys who have finished first grade (or who are 8 years old). To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass 12 achievements. For every three achievement he earns a yellow bead which is suspended from his Progress Emblem. His parent or guardian approves each achievement by signing his book. When the boy has met all requirements, the Wolf badge is presented to his parent or guardian at  the next pack meeting. During an impressive ceremony, the parent or guardian  then presents the badge to the boy.


Arrow Points

After he has earned the Wolf badge, a Wolf Cub Scout can work on the 23  Wolf electives until he finishes second grade (or turns 9 years old). He can  choose from more than 100 elective projects that may show him new hobbies and  teach him skills that will be useful during his Boy Scout years. When he  completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear under  the Wolf badge.  For each 10 elective projects after that, he earns a Silver Arrow Point.


ACADEMIC & SPORTS PROGRAM

Picture
The Cub Scouts Academics and Sports Program is one method of addressing the third aim of Scouting: the development of physical, mental and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems), and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect). As in most activities in Cub Scouting, this is not meant to be a highly competitive program, instead, the boys are encouraged to DO THEIR BEST.

The Academic and Sports Program is an optional program for all Cub Scouts. It is not part of the normal requirements towards ranks, except where used in obtaining various Webelos activity badges and Wolf Elective 20 (Sports). Its purpose is to assist the Scouts in learning a new skill, or improving one they already posses.

A variety of recognition items are available for the boys (Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, or Webelos Scouts) who participate in the program. (Adults are NOT awarded with belt loops or pins.)


Belt Loops, Pins and Letter

Picture
Belt loops are awarded to boys who complete the three belt loop requirements in an academic subject or sport. Academic belt loops are gold, and Sports belt loops are silver (except for the Archery and BB-gun Shooting belt loops, which are brass colored)

Pins are awarded to boys who choose to continue their involvement in an Academics or Sports area and earn the pin by meeting the appropriate requirements. Pins are worn on the Cub Scout Academic and Sports letter

The Academic and Sports letter is available to boys for displaying Academics and Sports pins that Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts earn. The letter, a large Blue and Gold "C", representing Cub Scouts can be worn on a sweater or jacket, or displayed or framed. It does NOT go on the uniform. There are NO specific requirements for earning the letter, as it is designed merely to display the pins.
