Besides
the advancement awards and the Academics and Sports belt loops and
pins, Cub Scouts may earn other individual awards. Set your sights on
these:
Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award
Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts,
and Webelos Scouts may earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award. This
award recognizes the Scout for taking part in outdoor recreation and
conservation projects. In many cases, you can earn this award while
doing other Scouting activities. Click here for more information about this award.
Religious Emblems
To encourage members to grow stronger
in their faith, many religious groups have programs for young people to
earn a religious emblem. The Boy Scouts of America approves of these
programs and allows the religious emblems to be worn on the official
uniform.
For a list of emblems programs, and a list of awards provided by each faith or religious group, see the Religious Emblems Programs page.
Cub Scout World Conservation Award
Webelos Scouts can earn the Cub Scout
World Conservation Award by earning the Forester, Naturalist, and
Outdoorsman activity badges and taking part in a den or pack
conservation project.
Cub Scouting's Leave No Trace Awareness Award
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps
people take better care of the environment and protect it for future
generations. Cub Scouts and their leaders may earn the Leave No Trace
Awareness Award. Click here for more information.
Emergency Preparedness Award
"Emergency preparedness" means being
ready for all kinds of emergencies. It means you're ready and able to
help in times of trouble to save lives and property and to help a
community—or even a nation—get back to normal after a disaster happens.
To encourage Scouts of all ages to be prepared for emergencies, the BSA
has approved an Emergency Preparedness Award program for members of all
ages. To learn more about the award requirements and to download an application form, visit the Emergency Preparedness Award page.
Medals
Cub Scouts who compete in Cub Scout derbies, field days, and other competitive events can win medals to wear on their uniform.
