Tuesday night was Pack 175's graduation ceremony. This marks the boys completion of an age appropriate rank and their advancement to the next one. There are five ranks in Cub Scouts. Boys can start in first grade with Tiger, second is Wolf, third is Bear and forth/fifth is a rank called Webelos. That last rank covers two years. The word Webelos actually means We'll Be Loyal Scouts. It is the "middle" rank between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. The fifth rank is actually the first rank required no matter what year a boy enters Cub Scouts called Bobcat. It focuses on safety in Scouting.
In our Pack, the parents receive a ribbon that marks each boys advancement with a pin. Here my son Matt is pinning my new Webelos pin on my ribbon. All the boys in my den also received their compas badge that tracks how many achievements each boy completes at the Webelos level. We are an ambitios bunch. Our goal is to earn the 20er patch for completing all the achievements. Goal setting is an important life lesson taught in Scouting. Go for it!
