Once you reach 8 years old, you should be ready to move up to Cubs. You will spend 5-6 weeks going to both Cubs and Beavers while you work on your Moving On Award. You can wear this on your Cub Uniform. Once you have become a Cub, you can take all your Beaver badges and sew them onto a Camp Blanket. This is a traditional way of collecting your badges and also keeps you lovely and warm at camp.
