After your scout has earned his Bobcat badge, he can start along the Wolf trail. There are 12 achievements. As your scout completes each achievement, you okay it. After completing all 12 achievements, he may become a Wolf scout. He should do his best to complete each track; that's a part of the promise he made to become a Bobcat and it is the Cub Scout motto-Do you best. Don't okay a track if you both know that he can do a better job. Move on to something else, then go back and try again.
While progressing toward completing the Wolf trail, he can be recognized for his work. When he completes any three achievements, his den leader can present the Progress Towards Ranks emblem to him. It's a diamond with a plastic thong, and is worn on the button of the right pocket of his uniform shirt. Each time he completes three achievements he will receive a gold bead. After he gets his fourth gold bead, he will be ready to receive his Wolf badge at a pack meeting.
Your scout can also search the Arrow Point trail. On the Wolf trail, the main sections were called achievements, things that we would like all boys to do. On the Arrow Point trail, the main sections are called electives, choices that a boy can make on his own and with your guidance.
To earn a Gold Arrow Point to wear beneath his Wolf badge, a boy must complete any ten elective projects of the more than one hundred choices shown in the book. For every ten additional electives he completes, the Wolf Cub Scout qualifies for a Silver Arrow Point to wear beneath the Gold. He can earn as many Silver Arrow Points as he wants until he completes the second grade (or turns 9). Arrow Points are presented at the pack meeting after he receives his Wolf badge.
