Welcome to the Wolf Den!
Welcome to the Wolf Den!
If a Cub Scout has completed the first grade (or is 8 years old), the scout may start earning the Wolf rank.
As the Tiger program was completely family oriented, the Wolf program begins to shift away from this model, yet still relies heavily on family involvement. There is no adult partner in the Wolf Den; the scouts are now old enough to participate in adventures without direct adult involvement. You will see this transition continue, with the scout doing more with the den and having more individual direction as the scout reaches Webelos and Arrow of Light.
This part of the Scouting Trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin Bear adventures after second grade is completed.
Tip: Remember that the Cub Scout motto of Do Your Best is central to the program. There is no level of competence or skill required to complete adventures. Putting in personal effort and having fun with fellow scouts is success.
Wolf Advancement
Wolf Advancement
Wolf Scouts do adventures described in their Wolf handbook that advance them towards their Wolf rank. By completing seven adventures, the Wolf rank is earned.
This includes the six required adventures, plus one elective adventure. The elective adventure can be different for each scout, and a scout can earn as many as they want.
All Wolf Scouts must also complete the Cyber Chip requirements.
The BSA teamed up with content expert NetSmartz®, part of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children® and training expert for many law enforcement agencies.
Netsmartz® has created a Scouting portal showcasing Cyber Chip resources, including grade-specific videos, for each level.
The Cyber Chip videos can be found at the BSA Cyber Chip Website
