EL PLAN DE AVANCE
El avance es el proceso en el que los Cub Scouts ganan insignias y premios, aprenden nuevas habilidades y amplÃan sus horizontes a medida que avanzan. El programa de avance Cub Scout se basa en aventuras, que son colecciones temáticas de actividades. Muchas de estas actividades se realizarán en grupo, con el den o con todo el pack. Otras actividades son para hacer en casa en familia. Las actividades integradas en las aventuras incluyen deportes, juegos, excursiones, proyectos de servicio, manualidades y desafÃos de liderazgo. Todos estos están diseñados para lograr los objetivos de Scouting: desarrollo del carácter, formación ciudadana y aptitud personal. A medida que un niño/niña avanza en los rangos de Cub Scout, las actividades se vuelven más desafiantes para igualar sus crecientes destrezas y habilidades.
Lion Cubs - Pilot Program in Select Packs
The Lion Cub program is for a kindergarten boy/girl and his/her adult partner, who participate as a team. A Lion Cub must complete 5 adventures to earn the Lion Cub badge. At the end of the year, they will transition to Tiger, earn their Bobcat badge, and continue through Cub Scouting.
La insignia Bobcat es la primera insignia que gana cualquier Cub Scout nuevo. Una vez que they gane la insignia Bobcat, they empezarán a trabajar en una insignia especÃfica de rango, como puede ver aquÃ. Cada una de estas insignias requiere que el niño/niña gane el premio Cyber Chip (seguridad en Internet) y complete las actividades del folleto de seguridad de protección juvenil con sus padres.
Tiger
Tigers are boys/girls in first grade who participate with an adult partner. The orange Tiger neckerchief stands for curiosity and courage, and represents the beginning flame of Scouting. An orange flame is not yet hot, but has just started and has huge potential. Tigers who complete adventures earn metal adventure loops to wear on their belts. Your son/daughter must complete 6 required adventures plus at least 1 elective adventure to earn the Tiger badge. A few of the required adventures are Games Tigers Play (games), Tiger Bites (nutrition), and Backyard Jungle (hiking).
Wolf
Wolves have completed first grade. The yellow Wolf neckerchief stands for warm sunlight, happiness and good cheer and shows that the flame of Scouting is burning bright as your son/daughter learns more Scout skills. Wolves also earn adventure loops for completed adventures. To earn the Wolf badge, 6 required and at least 1 elective adventure must be completed. Some of the required adventures are Council Fire (citizenship), Call of the Wild (camping), and Howling at the Moon (performing).
Bear
Bears have completed second grade. The blue Bear neckerchief stands for truth, loyalty, and obedience. Just as a blue flame is very hot, the Scouting spirit burns hotly in these growing boys. Bears also earn adventure loops for completed adventures. A boy/girl must finish 6 required and at least 1 elective adventure to earn the Bear badge. Some of the required adventures are Bear Claws (pocketknife safety), Baloo the Builder (wood working), and Fur, Feathers, and Ferns (ecology).
Webelos
Webelos have completed third grade. The plaid in the Webelos neckerchief mixes four colors: the blue & gold of Cub Scouts and the red & green of Scouts BSA. It is more like fireworks than a flame. These boys/girls are exploding with skills, spirit, and energy. Webelos earn adventure pins for completed adventures. These are worn on colorful ribbons on the uniform sleeve. A boy/girl must complete 5 required and at least 1 elective adventure to earn the Webelos badge. Some of the required adventures include Cast Iron Chef (cooking), First Responder (first aid), and Stronger, Faster, Higher (physical fitness)
Arrow of Light
In the second year of the Webelos program, boys/girls earn Cub Scouting’s highest award, the Arrow of Light. For this badge, 4 required and at least 1 elective adventure must be completed. Some of the required adventures include Outdoorman (camping), Duty to God in Action (reverence), and Scouting Adventure (preparing for Scouts BSA).
