Cub Scouts (Singapore Scout Association) is now known as the Akela Award (a wolf's head on a green background), replacing the "link badge" design of the UK. Cub Scouts in Singapore follow a common Scout Promise and Law unlike the Wolf Cub era when they have a separate set of Cub Promise and Law. Cub Scouts are grouped in "Sixes" distinguished by coloured Turk's head woggles, where they are led by a "Sixer" and an "Assistant Sixer". If the situation calls for it, a "Senior Sixer" would also be appointed. The Cub Scout Leader leads the Cub Scout Unit (or "Pack") with the help of
Boy Scouts of America to reach out to youth and families. These organizations hold charters issued by the BSA and are known then as chartered organizations. Each chartered organization provides the meeting place for BSA youth, oversees the volunteer leaders, and agrees to follow the basic BSA safety policies and values-based program, and the organization is considered the "owner" of its local program, much like a franchise. Within each chartered organization, there may be one or more "units". A unit is a group of youth and adults which are collectively designated as a Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Venturing crew, or Sea Scout
