The Cub Scout Program

What Cub Scouts Earn…

Advancement

Cub Scout activities are centered around earning badges that are specific to each school grade level. This badge represents a rank. Advancement refers to the progress a Cub Scout makes toward their badge of rank. All of the activities for each rank are in the Cub Scout handbooks.

Adventures

Based on different topics such as hiking, nature, science, citizenship, first aid, sports, and more, adventures are earned as a Cub Scout advances toward their badge of rank. Once an adventure is completed, a Cub Scout receives recognition in the form of an adventure loop or adventure pin.

Adventure Loops

Kindergarten through third grade; Lions, Tigers, Wolves, and Bears earn metal adventure loops (shown above). These are designed to slide onto a Cub Scout’s belt.

Adventure Pins

Fourth and fifth grade, Webelos, earn metal adventure pins. These pins are placed on the Webelos Colors (shown) or on a Webelos hat.

Uniforms

The uniform is one of the methods of delivering the Scouting program. In addition to creating a sense of belonging, the uniform gives a Scout the ability to display their personal achievements.
