Cub Scout
Sports Program
 
 
  
The Sports 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.
Loops and pins can be are earned by Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts and
Webelos Scouts.
Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may complete
requirements in a family, den, pack, school, or community environment.
Tiger Cubs must work with their parents or adult partners.
Parents and partners do not earn loops or pins.
Complete details on using the sports program are contained in
the
Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program Guide (#34299).
