Advancement

Each grade has a rank

A Cub Scout works toward the rank connected to their grade: Lion for Kindergarten, Tiger for first grade, Wolf for second, Bear for third, Webelos for fourth, and Arrow of Light for fifth. The official requirements are the source of truth for what counts.

Required and elective Adventures

Scouts complete the required Adventures for their rank and add elective Adventures that match their interests. The current national advancement trail says each rank uses six required Adventures and at least two elective Adventures; check the official page for current requirements and updates.

Where advancement happens

• Den meetings provide regular time to learn and complete Adventures with other Scouts.
• Pack meetings and activities can complete requirements or provide recognition for work already finished.
• Families can support practice, reading, projects, and conversations at home when an Adventure calls for it.
• The Scout should have a chance to do the work and show what they learned; adults provide support without taking over.

How Pack 92 records progress

Share completed work with your den leader, who can confirm what was completed and keep the Pack’s advancement record current. If an item is missing or a requirement is unclear, ask the den leader or Pack leadership before repeating the work. The current Pack process and official requirements take priority over an old checklist or a search result.

Recognition and awards

Completed Adventures and rank work are recognized through the current Cub Scout recognition system. Pack 92 leaders will communicate when awards are ready to be presented or picked up. The official program pages explain the current recognition devices without replacing the handbook requirements.
