As the only council in the Boy Scouts of America offering this unique program, Northern Star Council's Lion Cub program provides exciting indoor and outdoor activities specifically designed for kindergarten boys and their adult partner. Adult partners are there to support and guide, and allow the new Cub Scout to discover risks and rewards under adult supervision. Lion Cubs will be able to participate in all pack meetings and activities, fundraising efforts, camping programs, pinewood derby, and any other activity that the pack is involved in.
-
The Tiger Cub program is for first-grade (or age 7) boys and their adult partners. The Tiger Cub advancement program consists of five achievable requirements each consisting of three parts; a family component, done at the home, a Den component, done at a meeting, and a Go-See-It, or field trip. The program also provides fifty elective activities to further enrich the experience and to help keep the boys enthused about participation.
-
The Wolf program is for boys who have completed the first grade (or are age 8.) To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass twelve achievements involving simple physical and mental skills. As a Cub Scout completes his achievements toward the Wolf rank, the Leader recognizes a boy's hard work with the Immediate Recognition patch and beads.
-
The Bear program is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9.) There are 24 Bear achievements in four categories. The Cub Scout must complete 12 of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank.
-
This program is for boys who have completed third grade (or are age 10). A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements—all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.
