Cub Scouts
Ranks

​Each level of Cub Scouting has a series of requirements, called “adventures,” that Scouts must complete to receive the patch for that level. These awards are known as “ranks.” The requirements are found in the handbooks for each level and are designed to be worked on at home with parents or other Cub Scouts at den meetings.

On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses from rank to rank, learning new skills as they go. Each of the ranks and awards in Cub Scouting has its own requirements. As a Scout advances through the ranks, the requirements get more challenging to match the new skills and abilities the Scout learns as they get older.
