Wolf
The
Wolf rank is for boys who have completed first grade (or who
are 8 years old). To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass
12 achievements
involving simple physical and mental skills. His parent or guardian
approves each achievement by signing his book. When all requirements
are satisfied, the Wolf badge is presented to his parent or guardian
at the next pack meeting in an impressive advancement ceremony,
during which the parent or guardian in turn presents the badge
to the boy.
After he has earned the Wolf badge, a boy is
encouraged to work on the 22 Wolf electives until he completes
second grade (or turns 9 years old). More than 100 elective projects
are aimed at kindling his interest in new hobbies, as well
as teaching him skills that will be useful during his Boy
Scout years. When he completes 10 elective projects, he earns
a Gold Arrow Point to wear under the Wolf badge. For each
additional 10 elective projects completed, he earns a Silver
Arrow Point.
Note: No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he
must earn his Bobcat badge before he can advance to the rank of
Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos. See the TIGERS page for more
info.
