Elligot Sr. Webelos Dave & Catherine Iacoponi Boys within the Pack are grouped into small Dens of 6 -8 boys based on their grade in school, or rank. The Cub Scout program is then delivered through age-appropriate activities in the rank handbooks. BSA has almost 100 years invested studying boys and developing the programs. TIGER: 1 st grade boys are with a parent partner. Each Tiger Cub family team is a part of their den and work together on den activities, family activities and “Go See Its”- field trip activities. WOLF: 2 nd grade boys work on 12 Achievements to earn the Wolf rank badge, and then may work on electives in different interest areas. Most requirements are homebased. BEAR: 3 rd grade boys complete 12 of 24 Achievements before working on Electives. Most requirements are home-based with more den activities and achievements. This program offers more “choice” as the boys expand their individual interests. WEBELOS: The program progresses for 4 th & 5 th grade boys to an 18 -month program that shifts Activity requirements from the home to the Den. WEBELOS (“WE’ll BE LOyal Scouts”) involves more outdoor programs to prepare for Boy Scouts. 2013 ANNUAL FUNDRAISING Must cover cash shortfall on annual expenses! Goal is for every scout to sell $350 WHY POPCORN? a) 1/3 of revenues stays in Weston, 1/3 to Council, 1/3 to cost b) Council maintains facilities like Camp Hoyt & Deer Lake. SCOUT LEARNING EXPERIENCE a) Present and sell ideas (important life skill) b) Earn prizes as a reward for hard work CUB BUCKS! After the first $100, the Pack will return 6% of a cub’s sales in Cub Bucks! Cub Bucks may be used for any payment to Pack 75.
