To earn the Wolf rank a Cub Scout must complete 49 tasks out of a possible 62 tasks that are offered in 12 groups in the book.

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

Within each group, a required number of achievements must be completed. As every 3 groups are completed, the Wolf Cub earns a bead for his totem, worn on the right pocket of the uniform. Any achievements that they do NOT use to earn the Wolf Badge may be used to earn Arrow Points.

The badge is worn on the left pocket of the uniform.  Arrow points are worn below the left pocket.

(Note that these achievements are primarily done at home and signed off by an adult family member after the boy has completed each one. The book is then shown to the Den Leader who records the progress and also signs the boy's book.)
