Cub Scout Advancement Cub Scouting has the following ranks depending upon the age & school grade of the participant:
The requirements for each are explained in the Tiger Cub Handbook, Wolf Cub Scout Book, Bear Cub Scout Book, and the Webelos Scout Book. Arrow Points are earned after a Cub Scout rank has been obtained Belt Loops The Cub Scout Academics and
Sports program is a supplemental enrichment program that complements the
existing Cub Scout program. The Academics
The belt loops typically require the successful completion of three basic requirements. The pin typically requires the completion of the belt loop and 5 or 6 other more challenging requirements. Scouts may earn either the belt loop or pin more than once; however, in the spirit of Scouting we suggest they broaden their horizons by experiencing a variety of activities.
Activities are broken into two different general categories: Academics and Sports. Each category has many specific skills or activities from which Scouts may choose.

subjects (17) and Sports activities
(21) allow boys to learn new techniques, increase scholarship skills, develop
sportsmanship and have fun. The program is designed for Scouts of all ages from
Tiger Cubs to Webelos. Activities can be done together in the Den, Pack or
Family. The community may also play a crucial resource for accomplishing some
requirements. Participation in organized sports teams or school related
projects may help the Scout accomplish some of the requirements. We highly
encourage Scouts to work on these awards with their parent(s) and earn them
apart from the regularly scheduled Den or Pack activities. This allows further
development of skills, personal and family growth. As with all activities,
Tiger Cubs must involve their partner in accomplishing these achievements.
