Wolf Badge

The Wolf Badge requirements were revised in the 1998 edition of the Wolf Cub Scout Book.

To earn the Wolf rank a Cub Scout must complete 49 tasks out of a possible 62 tasks that are offered in the book.

If the Cub Scout has not previously earned the Bobcat Badge, it must be earned first.

Note that these activities are primarily done at home and signed off by the parent after the boy has completed each task. The book is then shown to the Den Leader who records the progress and also signs the boy's book.
