Our Mission
Cub Scouting helps kids build character, leadership, fitness, and citizenship through outdoor adventure and community service, guided by the Scout Oath and Law - living out values like trustworthiness, helpfulness, loyalty, and personal excellence.
What Is a Cub Scout Pack?
A Cub Scout pack is the local Scouting unit that brings together all the dens in a community - Lion through Arrow of Light - under one group. Each den meets on its own, and the whole pack also gets together for larger pack meetings and events throughout the year. Packs are chartered by a local organization and run entirely by volunteer parents: a Cubmaster, a committee, and den leaders for each grade level. Pack 3728 is with the Northern Star Council and chartered by Lebanon Lodge No. 346. Every registered adult leader completes Scouting America’s Youth Protection Training before working with scouts.
Dens by Grade
Cub Scouts are organized into dens by grade level, each working toward its own rank:
Lion - Kindergarten
The youngest scouts explore Cub Scouting through fun, hands-on adventures alongside a parent or guardian as their Lion buddy.
Tiger - 1st Grade
Still paired with an adult partner, Tigers explore nature, community helpers, and teamwork through their adventures.
Wolf - 2nd Grade
Wolves start building independence, learning outdoor skills, fitness, and character.
Bear - 3rd Grade
Bears take on more advanced outdoor skills, science, and citizenship adventures.
Webelos - 4th Grade
Short for “We’ll Be Loyal Scouts,” Webelos begin bridging toward Scouts BSA with more challenging outdoor adventures and leadership opportunities.
Arrow of Light - 5th Grade
The top Cub Scout rank, Arrow of Light scouts prepare to cross over into a Scouts BSA troop, including joining troop activities and campouts.
Lion, Tiger, and Wolf dens require an adult partner to attend meetings with the scout.
Rank Advancement
Scouts earn their grade’s rank badge by completing adventures from their handbook. Scouts advance based on their current grade level, not necessarily by having completed every previous rank first.
Adventure Loops & Pins
- Lion through Bear scouts earn small metal adventure loops that slide onto the blue belt - completing 6 required and 2 elective adventures earns the rank badge.
- Webelos and Arrow of Light scouts earn adventure pins instead, worn on the Adventure Colors patch or Webelos cap, with similar requirements.
