Uniform - Pack 100 only requires the shirt, scarf, and neckerchief slide as the 'complete uniform'. The shirt requires the 'Lewis and Clark' district round patch (goes on right pocket), 'CPC' shoulder patch (goes on left shoulder), den number strip (right shoulder under the flag), and World Scouting patch (inch above left pocket). The pack supplies the pack number '100' in a single patch (under cpc patch on left shoulder). A good thing to get is the blue Cub Scout belt so your son has a place to 'hang' all the belt loops he will earn. :) Anything else (hat, socks, pants, jacket, etc) is at your discretion but not required and not really encouraged.
The pack and local district has a selection of quality pre-owned uniforms if you want (sizes and quantity will vary with time).
The Norwest scout shop (2145 SW Naito Pkwy) is the place to buy all this stuff and more. map

Ranks
(levels, sections, etc, etc)
Bobcat
No matter what age or grade a boy joins Cub Scouting, he must earn his
Bobcat badge before he can advance to the rank of Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or
Webelos. A boy must complete the Bobcat requirements, which include:
Learn and say the Cub Scout motto, the Cub Scout Promise, and the Law
of the Pack and tell what they mean;
show the Cub Scout sign, salute, and handshake and tell what they mean;
and
show that you understand and believe that it is important to be honest
and trustworthy.
Pack 100 would like all
new scouts to have met the requirements for the Bobcat badge by the
October Pack meeting. Those joining in middle of the year should have
the requirements done by the next Pack meeting.
Tiger Cub
To begin his path to the Tiger Cub rank, the Tiger Cub (first graders)
must learn the Tiger Cub motto, the Cub Scout sign, and the Cub Scout
salute. When he has learned these, he gets his Tiger Cub emblem, which
is a tiger paw with four strings for beads. He wears the emblem on his
right pocket.
As a boy finishes each part of the five Tiger Cub achievements, he
earns an orange bead (for den activities), a white bead (for family
activities), or a black bead (for "Go See Its"). When the boy has
earned five beads of each color, he can receive his Tiger Cub badge.
The Tiger Cub badge is given to the boy's adult partner at a pack
meeting. Then, during a grand ceremony, the adult gives the badge to
the boy.
Wolf
The Wolf rank is for boys in the second grade. 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,
the Wolf badge is presented to his parent or guardian at the next pack
meeting.
After he has earned the Wolf badge, a Wolf Cub Scout can work on the 23
Wolf electives until he graduates to Bear. He can choose from more than
100 elective projects that may show him new hobbies and teach him
skills that will be useful during his future years. When he
completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear
under the Wolf badge. For each 10 elective projects after that, he
earns a Silver Arrow Point.
Bear
The Bear rank is for boys in the third grade. There are 24 Bear
achievements in four groups. A boy must complete 12 of the achievements
to be a Bear Cub Scout. These requirements are harder and more
challenging than those for the Wolf badge. When a boy has earned his
Bear badge, he can work on
the 23
Bear electives until he graduates to Webelos. He can choose from more
than
100 elective projects that may show him new hobbies and teach him
skills that can be useful during his future years. When he
completes 10 elective projects, he earns a Gold Arrow Point to wear
under the Bear badge. For each 10 elective projects after that, he
earns a Silver Arrow Point.
Webelos
Webelos dens are for boys in the fourth grade and fifth grade. 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:
Physical Skills:
- Aquanaut, Athlete, Fitness, Sportsman
Mental Skills:
- Artist, Scholar, Showman, Traveler
Community:
- Citizen, Communicator, Family Member, Readyman
Technology:
- Craftsman, Engineer, Handyman, Scientist
Outdoor Activity:
- Forester, Geologist, Naturalist, Outdoorsman
Webelos Scouts work on requirements during their weekly den meetings.
Once a boy learns a skill, he practices it at den meetings and at home
on his own. His family helps him at home. Webelos Scouts bring the
projects they do at home to the den meetings to show others, and to
have the Webelos den leader approve their projects.
When a boy has done the requirements for an activity badge, the Webelos
den leader rather than a parent, approves most of the activity badges.
It takes three activity badges, including Fitness and Citizen, to earn
the Webelos badge.
Besides earning activity badges, Webelos Scouts can earn the compass
points emblem. This emblem is awarded after a Webelos Scout has earned
seven activity badges. For each four activity badges a Webelos Scout
earns after that, he receives a compass point: east, west, north, and
south.
Arrow of Light
The highest award in Cub Scouting is the Arrow of Light Award. Earning
this prepares a Webelos Scout to become a Boy Scout. Webelos
Scouts who have earned the Arrow of Light Award have also completed all
requirements for the Scout badge in Boy Scouts.
This award is the only Cub Scout one that can be worn on the Boy
Scout uniform. Adult leaders who
earned the Arrow of Light Award when they were young may also show
their achievement by wearing a special square knot on their adult
uniform.
