University of Scouting is an action-packed, fun-filled day of supplemental Scout Leader training. It is offered once a year to provide knowledge, ideas, tools and resources to help adult leaders, volunteers and Scouts in their Scouting positions. It is the only time during the year where you can find, all in one place, a wide variety of training opportunities in all program areas (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, District Operations, and Council).
The Scouting advancement program provides new learning opportunities and ranks to keep Scouting interesting.
Boys and girls of different ages have different ranks in Cub Scouting. As you go from Tiger Cub (age 7) to Webelos Scout (age 10), you learn new things and new skills that you use to meet new challenges as you get older.
Where you begin in Cub Scouting depends on your age at the time you join. If you join when you're in first grade, you will begin as a Tiger Cub. If you do not join until the third grade, you'll begin as a Bear Cub Scout. You won't have to go back and earn the Tiger Cub and Wolf badges.
