Cub Scout Academics and Sports
Program
The
Cub Scout Academics and Sports program is a supplemental enrichment program that
complements the existing Cub Scout program. The Academics subjects and Sports
activities allow boys to learn new techniques, increase scholarship skills,
develop sportsmanship and have fun. The program is designed for Scouts of all
ages from Tiger Cubs to Webelos. Activities can be done together in the Den,
Pack or Family. The community may also play a crucial resource for accomplishing
some requirements. Participation in organized sports teams or school related
projects may help the Scout accomplish some of the requirements. We highly
encourage Scouts to work on these awards with their parent(s) and earn them
apart from the regularly scheduled Den or Pack activities. This allows further
development of skills, personal and family growth. As with all activities, Tiger
Cubs must involve their partner in accomplishing these achievements.
Activities are broken into two
different general categories: Academics and Sports. Each category has many
specific skills or activities from which Scouts may choose. The Academics and
Sports program encourages a boy to do his best. The purpose of the sports
activities is not to win, but to do your best and learn skills while promoting
good sportsmanship
Belt loops are worn on the Cub
Scout belt. Pins are to be worn on the Academics and Sports Program Letter
Emblem (shown right) on their red patch vest or other garment of their choosing.
Pins are not to be worn on the official uniform shirt. The letter emblem will be
awarded with the Scout's first pin.
