| As a Cub Scout completes his
achievements towards the Wolf (and Bear) ranks, the Den Leader
recognizes a boy's hard work with the Immediate
Recognition patch and beads. This is used as an
incentive towards continued achievement. As a Wolf, when
he completes any three achievements, his den leader can
present the Progress Toward Ranks patch to him.
It is worn on the button of the right shirt pocket. Each time
the boy completes three achievements he will receive another
gold bead. After he gets his fourth gold bead, he will receive
his Wolf badge at a pack meeting. |
|
| As a Bear, red beads are
presented for each three Bear achievements earned. After he
gets his fourth red bead, he will receive his Bear badge at a
pack meeting. Cub Scouts may continue to wear this emblem
after ranks are earned until they become Webelos Scouts. |
| After a boy earns his Wolf Badge, he
works on Wolf Electives
which consist of special projects and activities.
Completing them allows him to earn Arrow Points to
display on his uniform under his Wolf badge.
To earn a Gold Arrow Point to wear beneath
his Wolf badge, the boy must complete any ten elective
projects. If he does ten more, he qualifies for a Silver
Arrow Point to wear beneath the Gold. Multiple Silver
Arrow Points may be earned, but only one Gold along the Wolf
trail. The Arrow Points are presented at the pack
meeting after he receives his Wolf badge. |

Conservation Award. Earning this award allows Scouts
of all ages to heighten their awareness and appreciation of
nature and the environment. |

| The Cub
Scouts Academics and Sports Program is targeted towards
the physical, mental and emotional fitness of Cub Scouts.
Fitness includes the body (physically fit and healthy), the
mind (thinking and solving problems), and the emotions
(self-control, courage, and self-respect). The aim of
this program is to encourage the boys to DO THEIR BEST, as
opposed to being highly competitive.
The Academic and Sports Program is optional
for all Cub Scouts. It is not part of the normal
requirements towards ranks. A variety of recognition
items are available for the scouts (Wolf, Bear, or WEBELOS
Scouts) who participate in the program.
 | Belt loops are awarded to boys who
complete the three belt loop requirements in an academic
subject or sport.
| Pins are awarded to boys who choose to
continue their involvement in an Academics or Sports area.
