The Wolf Scout program is for boys and girls who have completed first grade (or are 8 years old) and has earned the Bobcat Badge. This part of the scout trail is intended to take one school year, preparing the scout to begin earning his/her Bear rank as he/she completes second grade.
Wolf Cubs gather in dens of five to eight children with a Den Leader. Den meeting frequency may be determined by the Den Leader and the scouts' parents / guardians.
In the Wolf Cub year, which runs from either the date the scout is registered as a Wolf Cub until the end of the school year, there are twelve achievements each consisting of many parts. This is more challenging thanthe Tiger Cub year, and it is appropriate to the level of development of the Cub Scout.
