What ages of boys join Cub Scouts?
Cub Scout ranks are set up by grade and age. Tiger Cub rank is for boys who have completed kindergarten or are 7 years old. The Bobcat Badge is usually earned after the Tiger Cub rank, but must be earned before any other rank can be obtained. Boys who have completed 1st grade, or are at least 8 years old, work on the rank of Wolf Cub. Boys who have completed 2nd grade, or are at least 9 years old, work toward the rank of Bear Cub. Boys who have completed 3rd grade, or are at least 10 years old, work to earn the Webelos badge, which is usually a year and a half program.
