Wolf Cub Rank



To earn the Wolf rank a Cub Scout must complete 58 tasks out of a possible 74 tasks that are offered in the Wolf handbook. Note that these activities are primarily done at home and signed off by the parent after the boy has completed each task.
Most dens aim to earn their main rank in time for it to be awarded at the Blue and Gold Banquet pack meeting which is March, so we should aim to earn our Wolf Cub patches at that pack meeting as well, if possible.


Progress Towards RankAs a Wolf or Bear, when he completes his first three achievements, the Progress Toward Ranks totem is presented to him. It's a diamond with a thong attached and a bead slipped on the thong. It is worn on the button of the right shirt pocket as a temporary badge. For every three achievements completed by the scout as a Wolf, he will receive a gold bead. For every 3 achievements earned as a Bear, he will receive a red bead.
These beads will be presented at den meetings. After he gets his fourth bead, he has completed the requirements for his rank badge (either Wolf or Bear) which will be awarded at a pack meeting.

Cub Scouts may continue to wear this emblem after ranks are earned until they become Webelos Scouts.

Electives -Arrow Point Trail

AFTER a Wolf Cub Scout earns his Wolf Badge he may begin earning Arrow Points in the Electives section of his book.
He may work on his "Arrow Point Trail" at any time, however he cannot receive Arrow Points until AFTER he has earned the Wolf Badge.

GOLD ARROW POINT: For the FIRST 10 arrow points completed in the "Electives" section of his book, the Wolf Cub earns his GOLD ARROW POINT.

SILVER ARROW POINTS: For EACH 10 arrow points completed (AFTER HE EARNS THE GOLD ARROW POINT) the Wolf Cub earns a SILVER ARROW POINT.

He may earn any number of SILVER ARROW POINTS, but he may only earn ONE GOLD ARROW POINT for the first 10 elective points that he completes.

First meeting & Wildlife Conservation loop

The boys completed achievement one from the Wolf Book - Feats of Skill. They also traced and cut out a hand print for the Den flag that we are putting together to represent our den at camp outs & gathering.
