Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program

Belt Loops and Pins

Cub Scouts are encouraged to participate in optional Academic and Sports activities.  As a reward for their efforts, the scouts can earn belt loops (usually 3-5 requirements) and pins (usually belt loop requirements plus an additional 5 activities in the sport or area of study)

This is not meant to be a competitive program, instead, the boys are encouraged to DO THEIR BEST. For scouts unable participate in the activity completely you can not substitute requirements, except in the case of a handicap scout. You can adjust the requirements so that a boy only has to do his best.

The Sports and Academic Program is an optional program for all Cub Scouts. It is not part of the normal requirements towards ranks (except were used in obtaining the Webelos Sportsman and Athlete activity badges). Its purpose is to assist the Scouts in learning a new skill, or improving one they already posses.

Throughout the sports and physical fitness program, the boy is urged to "do his best" and is encouraged to involve an adult teammate whenever possible. Loops, pins, letters can be are earned by all boys in the Cub Scout program (Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts).
