The Lion Cub Rank is designed with indoor and outdoor activities for kindergarten-age children and their guardians. It serves as the entry point into the world of Cub Scouting. As the kindergarten year comes to an end, the young Lion Cub will embark on the next phase of their Cub Scouting journey. They will transition to Tiger Cubs, where they will have the opportunity to earn the Bobcat badge and continue their engaging exploration of Cub Scouting activities.
The Tiger Rank marks the beginning of a Cub Scout’s exploration of the natural world and community. Tigers, accompanied by adult partners, engage in hands-on activities that promote curiosity, teamwork, and creativity. The Tiger Rank is designed for youth who are in first grade or age seven.
Family Involvement: Tigers and their adult partners embark on shared adventures, emphasizing the role of family in the scouting journey.
Outdoor Exploration: Scouts engage in nature hikes, learn about different animals and plants, and begin to appreciate the outdoors.
Community Engagement: Scouts participate in service projects and learn about the importance of giving back to their community.
The Wolf Rank focuses on building essential life skills and self-reliance. Scouts work on tasks that help them become more self-sufficient and gain a sense of accomplishment. The rank is designed for those who have finished first grade or are eight years old.
Skill Building: Scouts learn practical skills such as cooking, using tools, and first aid.
Physical Fitness: Engaging in physical activities and games that promote health and well-being.
Personal Growth: Participating in activities that encourage responsibility, communication, and understanding.
Youth who are kindergarten age and a parent, guardian, or other caring adult approved by the parent or guardian in accordance with BSA policy may join the Lion program. Unlike other Cub Scouts, these youth do not begin with the Bobcat rank. Like other Cub Scouts, however, they earn the Lion rank by completing adventures.
