Pack 557 Information

Den Leaders:  Tom Staggs

Before earning the Tiger rank, boys must first earn their Bobcat Badge.  Requirements for this badge can be found here.

The Tiger rank is for boys who are entering first grade (or who are 7 years old).

For this rank, a boy finishes each part of the five Tiger Cub achievements... a den activity, family activity, and "Go See It" activity.

Den Leaders:  Kay Eder-Staggs, Scott Martin

The Wolf rank is for boys who have finished first grade (or who are 8 years old).

To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass 12 achievements. His parent or guardian approves each  achievement by signing his book. When the boy has met all requirements, he can be awarded the Wolf badge.

Den Leaders:  Mark Deegan, Dan Perkins

The Bear rank is for boys who have finished second grade (or who are 9 years old).

To earn the bear badge, a boy must complete 12 of the 24 Bear achievements in four groups. These requirements are harder and more challenging than those for the Wolf badge. When a boy has earned his Bear badge, he may work on electives to earn Arrow Points to wear under his Bear badge.

Den Leader:  Elizabeth Allen-Shipman

The Webelo rank is for boys who have finished third grade (or who are 10 years old).

The Webelos den program is different from the Cub Scout den program. Everything in the Webelos Scout program is more challenging than what younger boys in the pack do. Webelos Scouts get to work on the 20 Webelos activity badges.

When a boy has done the requirements for an activity badge, the Webelos den leader or activity badge counselor, rather than a parent, approves most of the activity badges.

Den Leader:  Nancy Han, Elizabeth Hansford

Unlike other ranks, a scout is a Webelos II for about half a year, before crossing over to join a Boy Scout Troop.
