Advancement is the word used to describe the progress Cub Scouts make toward their rank. It is one of the methods we use to achieve Scouting’s aims and its desired outcomes. As Scouts earn the ranks of Lion, Bobcat, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and the Arrow of Light, they achieve important goals in developing skills and favorable dispositions related to personal fitness, good character, participatory citizenship, outdoor skills and awareness, and leadership development. Each level of the program is designed to achieve these goals through a series of developmentally appropriate and fun adventures.
