If a Cub Scout has completed the first grade (or is 8 years old) he may begin working on the  achievements to earn his Wolf Badge. The Wolf Program is intended to help to guide the boys down a path of responsibility, while having fun, learning about themselves and the world around them and gaining personal achievement.

The first achievement the Cub Scout must earn, regardless of when he enters the Cub Scout Program, is the Bobcat Badge.

In Tiger Cubs the boys met twice a month and worked with their adult partner on a "Big Idea".  In Wolves, and the remaining Cub Scout programs, the boys meet weekly with other Cub Scouts and the Den Leaders.  The Wolf Cubs work on twelve achievements to earn their Wolf Badge:

Feats of Skill
Your Flag
Keep Your Body Healthy
Know Your Home and Community
Tools for Fixing and Building
Start a Collection
Your Living World
Cooking and Eating
Be Safe at Home and on the Street
Family Fun
Duty to God
Making Choices

The work for these achievements is completed both at the Den meeting and at home with the help of the Cub Scout's family.  Upon completion of the twelve achievements, the Cub Scout is awarded the Wolf Badge and may continue to work on any of the remaining Wolf projects, that qualify as electives, until he becomes a Bear Cub. When a boy completes ten electives he receives a Gold Arrow Point.   For each additional ten electives he receives a Silver Arrow Point.

Wolf Cubs BSA follows a school-year cycle. Boys remain in the Wolf Cub program until they complete second grade. At that time, they graduate into a Bear Cub den.

Leaders & Meetings

In the Wolf Cub Program each Den will consist of about 8-10 Cub Scouts with a minimum of 2 adult leaders.  The meetings will be held weekly with the leaders coordinating the times and locations.

Uniforms, Supplies & Registration Cost

Both the Wolf and Bear Cub uniform is a blue long or short sleeve shirt, neckerchief (yellow for Wolf, blue for Bear) and slide.  The blue Cub Scout pants, belt and Cub Scout hat are optional.  For purchase information and costs for the uniform please click here.

Each Den will set up dues, normally less that $2 for each meeting that will offset the cost of supplies for the den meetings. 

The registration fee for Wolf Cubs is $13 and includes the Wolf Cub Program Book.  An optional one-year subscription to Boys' Life Magazine, the official magazine of Scouting, is available for $9.
