Scouts Canada's Wolf Cub program offers badges to youth members as a mark of achievement in an interest area. The badges are grouped into six activity areas as described in The Cub Book (Scouts Canada, 2005 & 2009). While youth experience fun and excitement presented by the program, each activity area focuses on a specific purpose and goal, intended to be relevant to modern children while meeting developmental needs.

Each activity area offers a variety of badges that youth may earn and sew onto their uniform sash:

A uniquely coloured "Star", awarded for completing a set of introductory requirements in the area. The requirements for a star are flexible, allowing youth to select tasks that are easier than full-blown badge requirements, align with their personal interests, or present an exciting challenge to them.

A number of "Activity Badges", which focus on a variety of challenging activities in the activity area. Requirements for activity badges vary, and many may be tailored for youths' interests and talents. These activities may be completed individually or with others.

Each activity area includes or two advanced badges known as "Awards". Typically, youth may only aspire to acquire the awards after first earning the star and a number of badges in the activity area. Cubs can continue to wear these awards on their sash when they move up to Scouts.

The six activity areas are outlined in separate sections below. Stars and titles can be clicked for details on the Activity Area.
 

	BLACK STAR - The Natural World The Natural World activities are intended to create a feeling of care and concern for the natural world, and an interest in nature study. Activities in this area provide opportunities for youth to explore the wonders of nature, learn about the connections between the environment and the life it supports, explore and develop an understanding of the effects people have on the environment, and give direct ideas about how to help the environment in everyday situations
	BLUE STAR - Home and Community The activities in this area encourage youths' involvement in their homes and communities.
	GREEN STAR - The Outdoors The Outdoor activity area exists to develop self-confidence and early leadership skills through basic camping and outdoor interests. Activities in this area instruct youth on how to safely enjoy the outdoors, and encourage learning and participation in a variety of outdoor pursuits. These activities also serve to prepare Cub aged youth to progress to the outdoor activities that are central to Scouting.
	PURPLE STAR - Canada and the World The activities in this area explore themes of national and international relevance. Additional activities (Specialty Badges) encourage youth to set special challenges for themselves as individuals and as a group.
	RED STAR - Health and Fitness Having an active lifestyle is the first step in being fit and healthy! These activities teach youth the basics of fitness, and encourage physical activity.
	TAWNY STAR - Creative Expression The purpose of the Creative Expression activity area is to encourage youth to creatively explore and express themselves through activities applying imagination and innovation. Activities are intended to provide creative outlets for children's interests through the use of music, arts, and crafts, increase awareness of how modern technology can be used for creative expression, and promote literacy and reading skills. Youth can also develop a sense of accomplishment by pursuing a project from start to finish.
