The Whittl'n chip badge in Cub Scouts is earn by Bears and above, by learning how to handle a knife properly and safely and demonstrating that you have this knowledge. A Cub Leader will issue you the badge when you have done all of this and have the right to use a knife.
The Cub Scouts are not a company, they are an organization for boys and they usually go on to become Boy Scouts. They earn merit badges by doing good deeds and learning different skills sets.
The "Super Achiever" or "Heavy Shoulder Award" is an informal distinction bestowed by the Pack on WEBELOS scouts that earn all 20 activity pins. Since it is not an actual BSA badge or award I doubt there are any statistics available. My personal experience is that it is about 5-10% of bridging WEBELOS (finishing Cub Scouts and moving to Boy Scouts) with about half or less of all Cub Scouts bridging.
Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts differ in that in Cub Scouts, except for the Bobcat, the ranks are earned at the appropriate age. They do not go back and earn previous unearned badges. Boy Scouts earn each rank in order regardless of age or when they joined. Cub Scouts: Bob Cat is always earned first regardless of age. Tiger Cub - 1st grade Wolf - 2nd grade Bear - 3rd grade WEBELOS - 4th - 5th grades Arrow of Light - 4th - 5th grades after WEBELOS is earned. Boy Scouts: Scout Tenderfoot 2nd Class 1st Class Star Life Eagle
Typically, boys join Cub Scouts when they are in first grade.
The United States has a large number of Cub Scouts due to the popularity of the scouting program in the country. Cub Scouts are part of the Boy Scouts of America organization.

No. Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts are different organizations and belong to different international organizations.
There are roughly 1.6 million youth members of the Cub Scouts in the US.
The Cub Scouts were launched in the US in 1930. They were started by the BSA, not any one individual.
No. If you were to capitalize them, it would imply that all members of the Cub Scouts are with their mothers. The name of the organization, the Cub Scouts, is capitalized. If it is otherwise t is not. Example: After hearing a cub scout talk about all of the fun things he was doing John asked his mom if he too could joint the Cub Scouts.
Usually during a Cub Scout's Bear year (3rd grade), he works on and earns his "Whittlin' Chip" which teaches him safe handling of a pocketknife and allows him to carry it at scouting events.
