Cub Scouting has specific rank requirements for each grade level. Many are similar & properly designed, we could cover items for several levels at once. There are Belt Loops & Pins that any 1st to 5th grade scout can earn. Once they become Boy Scouts, there are individual badges that any scout from 5th to 12th grade can choose to work on. Venturing doesn't have “badges” but does have some achievement requirements.
