Cub Scout activities are centered around earning badges that are specific to each school grade level. This badge represents a rank. Advancement refers to the progress a Cub Scout makes toward their badge of rank. All of the activities for each rank are in the Cub Scout handbooks.
| Grade Level | Rank |
| Kindergarten | Lion |
| 1st Grade | Tiger |
| 2nd Grade | Wolf |
| 3rd Grade | Bear |
| 4th Grade | Webelos |
| 5th Grade | Arrow of Light (AOL) |
On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses towards a badge of rank based on their grade. They need not have earned the previous rank in order to earn the next. Each of the ranks in Cub Scouting has its own requirements that are age appropriate, so earning a rank below a Cub Scout’s current grade is not permitted. As a Cub Scout advances through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging, to match the new skills and abilities they have learned.
In addition, our Pack offers other opportunities for Scouts and families to thrive. Our monthly hiking club is dedicated to keeping healthy in nature. Our NOVA Club offers scouts the chance to explore STEM. Multiple community service opportunities through the year engage scouts with their local community.
