Cub Scout Rank Advancement
Cub Scouts have the opportunity to earn both required and elective recognition devices as they work toward their ranks and can also earn recognition for additional elective adventures they choose to complete beyond those required for their rank. Cub Scouts earn adventure loops to be worn on their belt, and Webelos Scouts earn pins to wear on their Webelos colors or Webelos cap.
Adventure loops and pins are a great way to help fulfill the aims of Scouting—build character, develop citizenship, and encourage mental and physical fitness. Through a variety of subjects, you can stretch your mind and abilities by exploring the wonders of science, learning about the world, and expanding skills in new areas.
This is a chance to try something new, do your best, and earn recognition all at the same time. For more information about the adventure loops and pins, visit CubScouts.org.
Cub Scouts do fun things with other kids! They get to wear a cool uniform, go places, and see things. They play all kinds of sports and build things, like race cars and bird houses. Want to learn a secret code? Want to learn about wild animals? Go Cub Scouting!
In Cub Scouting, boys and girls ages kindergarten through fifth grade will have lots of fun, adventure, and activities with their den and pack. But there's more to it than that. Being a Cub Scout means they are a member of a worldwide youth movement that stands for certain values and beliefs. Cub Scouting is more than something to do. It's all about who they are and the person they will become.
