In the Second Grade, Cub Scouts work toward the
Wolf Badge, then toward a
Gold Arrow Point and one or more Silver Arrow Points The
requirements for these badges are found in the Wolf Cub
Scout Book.
Advancements in Wolf Cubs
"The Wolf Trail"
Recognition is
important to young boys. The Cub Scout advancement plan
provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal
achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family
understanding as adult family members work with boys on
advancement projects.
The Wolf Trail is
for boys who have completed the first grade or are 8 years
old. Your Wolf Den Leader is assisted by other Den parents
and Assistant Den leader(s) known as Akela.
Many
of the activities in your Wolf book can be completed at home
with your family or during your Den meetings. Once you
finish an activity requirement you can have Akela
sign your book showing that you have successfully completed
the activity. You can have several Akela's that will help
you with your activities and sign your book including your
parents, your Den leader, and other adult caretakers.
As with the Bear
and Webelos ranks, you must first earn your
Bobcat Rank
before you can earn your Wolf Rank. For detailed
Bobcat Rank requirements check here.
To earn your Wolf
Rank you must complete 49 tasks out of the 62 offered in
your book. The tasks are grouped into 12 achievement
categories.

Arrow Point Electives
 You
can begin earning Arrow Points from the electives section as
soon as you get your Wolf book. These will be "banked" until
you earn your Wolf Rank. Once you become an official Wolf
you will be awarded all Arrow Points you have earned.
It's also important to note here that any
extra rank achievements that you earned over and above what
was required for your Wolf Rank may be counted as an Arrow
Point elective.
For the first 10 Arrow Point electives
you complete, you will be awarded a Gold Arrow Point. Each
additional 10 Arrow Point electives completed will earn you
a Silver Arrow Point. There is no limit to the number of
Silver Arrow Points you can earn while a Wolf.
