Recognizing a Cub's Progress on the
Wolf and Bear Trails
Your
boy doesn't have to wait until he completes his entire Wolf or Bear
trail before being recognized for his work. As a Wolf, when he
completes any three achievements, his den leader can present the
Progress Toward Ranks patch to him. It's a diamond with a leather (or
plastic) thong attached and a gold bead attached to one end. It is
worn on the button of the right shirt pocket. Each time the boy
completes three achievements he will receive another gold bead. After
he gets his fourth gold bead, he will receive his Wolf badge at a pack
meeting.
As a Bear, red beads are presented
for each three Bear achievements earned. After he gets his fourth red
bead, he will receive his Bear badge at a pack meeting. Cub Scouts may
continue to wear this emblem after ranks are earned until they become
Webelos Scouts.
As your boy completes the
requirements for the achievements on the Wolf and Bear trails, be sure
to review his work and sign his book in the place for Akela's OK. At
his next den meeting, he should show his book to his den leader who
will record his progress and sign the book on the line provided.
