Scout advancement. The steps in Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, and Webelos Scout
advancement procedures are preparation, qualification, and recognition.
Cub Scouting has the following ranks: Bobcat, Tiger Cub, Wolf,
Bear, Webelos , and Arrow of Light.
Boy Scouting
The Boy Scout requirements for rank are the basis for a Boy

advancement procedure: learning, testing, reviewing, and
recognition.
Boy Scouting has the following ranks:
Tenderfoot,
Second Class,
First Class,
Star,
Life and
Eagle.
In 2008, changes were made to Tenderfoot, Second Class, and
First class
requirements.
Now available on the National site,
Early Rank Advancement Videos for
Tenderfoot through First Class requirements--very cool!
Varsity Scouting
The Varsity requirements for rank advancement are the same as
for Boy Scouts. However, the advancement program is supervised
by a youth member called an advancement program manager, who is
assisted by an adult on the team committee.

A male Venturer who has achieved the First Class rank as Boy
Scout in a troop or as a Varsity Scout in a team may continue
working toward the Eagle Scout rank as a Venturer until his 18th
birthday. There is no alternate Venturing advancement route to
qualify for the Eagle Scout rank. The Venturing
Bronze,
Gold,
Silver,

certain requirements.
