Cub Scout Awards
Only ONE Temporary
patch may be worn at a time, but Cub or Webelos Scouts may wear the
Progress Through Ranks (Immediate Recognition) or Webelos Compass Points
Emblem suspended from the right pocket button in addition to any
temporary patch sewn on the pocket.
Outdoor Activity Award
Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Scouts have
the opportunity to earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award. Boys may
earn the award in each of the program years as long as the requirements
are completed each year. The first time the award is earned, the boy
will receive the pocket flap award, which is to be worn on the right
pocket flap of the uniform shirt. Each successive time the award is
earned, a wolf track pin may be added to the flap. Leaders should
encourage boys to build on skills and experiences from previous years
when working on the award for a successive year.
Outdoor Ethics Award
Guided by the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace, millions of Scouts have enhanced
their awareness of the natural world around them, minimizing impact to the land.
For Scouts who have a deep interest in the outdoors, nature, and the environment,
Scouting's outdoor ethics will give you an ever-deeper appreciation of the richness
of the land and how we fit into it. If you are prepared to venture down the
path of really becoming aware of your surroundings, of building the skills that
will allow you to leave no trace on the land, then the Outdoor Ethics Awareness
and Action Awards are for you.
World Conservation Award
The World Conservation Award provides an opportunity for
individual Cub Scouts to 'think globally' and 'act locally' to preserve
and improve our environment. This program is designed to make youth
members aware that all nations are closely related through natural
resources and that we are interdependent with our world environment. The
Cub Scout version of the World Conservation Award can be earned by
Wolf, Bear, or Webelos Scouts, but not by Tigers. This award can be
earned only once while you are in Cub Scouting (i.e. as either a Wolf,
Bear, or Webelos Scout). The award is worn on the uniform shirt,
centered on the right pocket as a Temporary patch.
Emergency Preparedness Award
Emergency preparedness means being prepared for all kinds
of emergencies, able to respond in time of crisis to save lives and
property and to help a community - or even a nation - return to normal
life after a disaster occurs. To encourage Scouts of all ages to be
prepared for emergency situations, the BSA has approved an Emergency
Preparedness Award program for members of all ages. The pin may be worn
on civilian clothing or on the uniform, centered on the left pocket
flap. The award may be earned more than once, but only one pin may be
worn.
Religious Emblems
A number of religious organizations provide emblems for Cub Scouts.
Most Cub Scout religious emblems consist of a bar pin and pendant. The
religious emblem square knot may be worn by youth or adult members who
earned the knot as a youth. All are worn above the left pocket.

Interpreter strips are made in the alphabet of the native
language represented, not the English language translation: French,

Mandarin (Chinese), Vietnamese. This award may be earned by each
registered Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, Webelos Scout, and Leader, worn above

of their lives. This award may be earned by all registered Tiger, Wolf,

centered on the right pocket as a Temporary patch.
BSA Family Award
To earn the award, a family must complete 10 activities within a
12-month period. The family chooses one activity in two topics in each
of several categories. When a family has completed the requirements, all
family members are eligible to receive an award certificate, patches
for uniform wear, and/or pins for non-uniform wear. This award may be
earned by all registered Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Scouts. The

Conservation Good Turn Award
The Conservation Good Turn is an opportunity for Cub
Scout packs to join with conservation or environmental organizations
(federal, state, local, or private) to carry out a conservation Good
Turn in their home communities. Working together in the local community,
the unit and the agency plan the details and establish the date, time
and location for carrying out the project. Conservation projects should
involve the entire Cub Scout pack - scouts, leaders, and family members.
This award may be earned by all registered Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and
Webelos Scouts. The award is worn on the uniform shirt, centered on the
right pocket as a Temporary patch.
United States Heritage Award
The United States Heritage Award was designed to give youth
recognition for learning about the heritage of the United States of
America, and showing patriotism. By earning this award, youth can
cultivate an appreciation for the wonderful heritage of the United
States of America. A silver medal (and a patch?) can be awarded to all
that successfully complete the award requirements. All requirements can
be done with a class, unit, group, family, or individually.
