What is the Grey Wolf? 

This is the highest award of the Cub Scout Section. Not easy to achieve and requires a significant effort from the Cub and family. Ideally this badge should be worked on during the final twelve months in the Cub section as there are a number of requirements to be fulfilled. 

As of term 4, 2007 we are implementing a new system for monitoring the progress of Cubs through the Grey Wolf. All Cubs who wish to attempt this badge will need to present a plan to Akela at least six months prior to going up to the Scout section. This will allow ample time for planning of extra activites (ie, the hike) and the examination of badgework. ALL requirements (excluding programmed Boomerang work) will need to be finished four weeks before advancement to Scouts to enable District to vet all work and allow for presentation of the Grey Wolf in front of our Pack.

To earn the Grey Wolf a Cub Scout must achieve;

1. Gold Boomerang Badge. Work on the Grey Wolf can commence before the Gold Boomerang is awarded – in fact it is encouraged.

2. Have participated in a minimum of four outdoor activities in the past 12 months.
(a) One of which must be an overnight camp.
(b) One should be an interpack activity.
(c) Using a map, plan and lead a bushwalk of at least two hours duration with your leader and a group of Cub Scouts (3-6 youth members).

3. In the past 12 months have attended two Pack Councils.

4. Have completed four Level Two Achievement Badges (one from each category) and have completed one Special Interest Badge.

5. Develop and present a resource for your Six or Pack based on your understanding of the Jungle Books.
