For Tiger, Wolf, and Bear ranks Cub Scouts complete several Adventures as described in their handbooks. Cub Scout Adventures are collections of themed, multidisciplinary activities of engaging content. Required and elective Adventures may be undertaken at the same time. As youth finish an Adventure, they are awarded a belt loop that is worn on the official Cub Scout belt. Belt loops should be presented as soon as possible. When the requirements for each rank are fulfilled, the rank badge is presented at the next pack meeting.
