Advancement Trail

On the advancement trail, a Cub Scout progresses towards a badge of rank based on their grade. They need not have earned the previous rank in order to earn the next.  To earn each badge of rank a Cub Scout earns the six required Adventures and at least two elective Adventures.  Required Adventures are based on the aims and areas of importance in Scouting. Each badge of rank is age-appropriate, so earning a rank below a Cub Scout’s current grade is not permitted.

We provide ready-made opportunities for your family to do fun things together—because together—we can all grow into our very best future selves!
