The Wolf rank is for boys who have completed the first grade (or who are 8 years old). To become a Wolf Cub Scout, a boy must pass 12 achievements involving simple physical and mental skills (see the Wolf Cub Scout Book). His parent or guardian approves each achievement by signing his book. The den leader keeps a record of his progress on the Cub Scout Den Advancement Chart and recognizes him at a den meeting for completing each milestone.
When a boy has completed the 12 achievements to the satisfaction of his parent or guardian, the den leader indicates this on the Cub Scout and Webelos Scout Den Achievement Report and gives it to the pack committee so awards can be purchased.
After he has earned the Wolf badge, a boy is encouraged to work on the 22 Wolf electives until he completes second grade (or turns 9 years old). More than 100 elective projects are aimed at kindling his interest in new hobbies, as well as teaching him skills that will be useful during his Boy Scout years. When he completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear under the Wolf badge. For each additional 10 elective projects completed, he earns a Silver Arrow Point. These are presented at the pack meeting in an advancement ceremony.
