Cub Scout rank is age based, but regardless of what age a cub scout joins, he must earn his Bobcat.

As your boy completes the requirements for the achievements on the Tiger, 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. Our goal is for every boy to be recognized for at least one adventure or achievement at every Pack Meeting.
