Wolf cubs, which are second graders, must complete 12 tracks to earn the Wolf badge. During their work at home and in the den, they earn beads as evidence that they are "progressing toward rank." Once they earn the Wolf badge, they can earn arrow point badges. |

Bears, which are third graders, must also complete 12 tracks, but they can select from a total of 24. These achievements are categorized into God, Country, Family and Self-sections. They receive "progress toward rank" beads and can earn arrow points once they are awarded the Bear badge. |

These older Cub Scouts prepare for the transition into Boy Scouts. They earn activity badge pins in up to 20 activity areas that introduce them to a myriad of career possibilities. More independence is evidenced as the boys complete most of their activities in the den setting. Besides the Webelos badge and activity pins, these boys strive to earn the Arrow of Light badge, Cub Scouting's highest honor. |

6th graders and older, or, Webelos after obtaining the "Arrow of Light" award will join the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts are organized into troops and patrols. One of the most important differences of Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts is that in Boy Scouts the youth will lead themselves. |
