Cub Scouting for Boys 8 through 11
Several leadership positions are necessary for a Cub Scout pack to function properly and successfully. (See the Pack Organization Chart on page 7-1 of the Cub Leaders Book.) Descriptions of the leadership positions related to Cub Scouting are provided within these pages.
The citizenship requirement listed in the leadership positions is understood as follows:
"For citizens of the United States, individuals serving in any official relationship with the Boy Scouts of America shall subscribe to the statement of religious principles, and the Scout Oath and Law."
"Adults who are not citizens of the United States, but who reside within the country, may register with the Boy Scouts of America in any capacity if they agree to abide by the Scout Oath and Law, to respect and obey the laws of the United States of America, and to subscribe to the statement of religious principle."
(Article VIII, Section 2, Clause I of the Rules and Regulations of the Boy Scouts of America)
The Cub Scout Promise, Law of the Pack, and Cub Scout Motto are used by Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts. Tiger Cubs use a different motto.
I, (say your name), promise
to DO MY BEST
To do my DUTY to GOD
And my Country
To HELP other people, and
To OBEY the LAW of the Pack
The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill.

Is of good character, is 21 years of age or older, is selected by the chartered organization, and is registered as an adult leader of the BSA. One of these is designated as pack committee chair.
Obviously, with a committee of three, members must assume responsibility for more areas of service than with a committee of seven or more, where the responsibilities can be divided among the members. Although packs can and do operate with a minimum of three committee members, experience has shown that a larger committee generally ensures a stronger, more stable pack and is better able to perform all the required functions to ensure a successful pack program. It is also a way of involving more pack families in meaningful service to the pack.
These pages contain the roles and responsibilities of each of the necessary Pack Committee functions.
GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Regardless of the size of the pack committee, these responsibilities must be performed:
A strong pack committee will have individual members assigned to such areas as record keeping and correspondence, finances, advancement, training, public relations, and membership and re-registration. The pack committee chair decides how the responsibilities should be divided and gives committee members assignments. Here are details of the various pack committee functions.

The Cub Scouts Academics and Sports Program is one method of addressing the third aim of Scouting: the development of physical, mental and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems), and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect). As in most activities in Cub Scouting, this is not meant to be a highly competitive program, instead, the boys are encouraged to DO THEIR BEST.
The Academic and Sports Program is an optional program for all Cub Scouts. It is not part of the normal requirements towards ranks, except where used in obtaining various Webelos activity badges and Wolf Elective 20 (Sports). Its purpose is to assist the Scouts in learning a new skill, or improving the ones they already posses.
A variety of recognition items are available for the boys (Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, or Webelos Scouts) who participate in the program. (Adults are NOT awarded with belt loops or pins.)
The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program is a supplemental enrichment program that complements the existing Cub Scout program. The Academics subjects and, Sports activities allow boys to learn new techniques, increase scholarship skills, develop sportsmanship - and have fun. Boys participating in the program will be recognized for enjoying teamwork, developing physical fitness, and discovering and building new talents. The Academics and Sports program encourages a boy to do his best.
The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program is based on the following concepts and guidelines
The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program relates directly to the nine purposes of Cub Scouting:
Currently, recognition can be earned for the following 17 academic areas:
Art, Astronomy, Chess, Citizenship, Collecting, Communicating, Computers, Language and Culture, Geography, Geology, Heritages, Map and Compass, Mathematics, Music, Science, Weather, and Wildlife Conservation
The awards for Astronomy, Collecting, Language and Culture, Geology, and Map and Compass, were added in September, 2002.
Most of the Academic belt loops (except Collecting) can be used by Webelos Scouts when working on various Activity Badges. To be used for Webelos Activity Badges, the belt loops must be earned WHILE a Webelos Scout, even if they had already been earned by the Cub Scout while a Tiger Cub, Wolf, or Bear. The Science belt loop is required for the Scientist Activity Badge, and the Citizenship belt loop is required for the Citizen Activity Badge, which is required for the Webelos Badge.. The others are options for other pins, as follows:

Before you write us, asking for a new Belt Loop for a different sport, like Karate or Tackle Football, please read our explanation why they are not included in the program.
In September, 2002, the awards for Flag Football were added, Skating (roller and ice) was replaced with separate awards for Ice Skating and Roller Skating, and Skiing was replaced with Snow Ski and Board Sports. In addition, the requirements for Swimming and Bicycling were revised.
The Shooting Sports belt loops and pins (Archery and BB Shooting) can only be earned under BSA range trained supervision. The BB Shooting loop and pin MUST be earned at a BSA facility range.
The belt loops for the Shooting Sports can be used toward Wolf Electives 20c and 20n. The Swimming belt loop can be used for the Aquanaut Activity Badge, the Physical Fitness belt loop can be used for the Athlete Activity Badge, and a number of Sports Belt loops can be used by Webelos Scouts when working on the Sportsman Activity badge. In addition to the other requirements for that pin, a Webelos Scout must earn two belt loops in individual Sports (Badminton, Bicycling, Bowling, Fishing, Golf, Gymnastics, Ice Skating, Marbles, Physical Fitness, Roller Skating, Snow Ski and Board Sports, Swimming, Table Tennis, and/or Tennis), and two more in team sports (Baseball. Basketball, Flag Football, Soccer, Softball, Ultimate, and/or Volleyball) to earn that Activity Badge. To be used for Webelos Activity Badges, the belt loops must be earned WHILE a Webelos Scout, even if they had already been earned by the Cub Scout while a Tiger Cub, Wolf, or Bear.

· To participate in Youth Protection training, contact your local council district executive (at the Scout Office) for the next training session.
YOUTH PROTECTION GUIDELINES
Child abuse is a critical problem in America, with several million incidents reported each year. These include:
· Emotional abuse, which occurs when a young person is continually berated and denigrated. This causes severely harm is to the youth's self-esteem.
· Physical abuse involves the bodily injury of a child.
· Sexual abuse is any sexual activity between an adult and a child or between children when there is an unequal distribution of power, as is the case when one child is significantly older or larger.
The Boy Scouts of America recognizes child abuse as an unacceptable, and has
developed a five-point strategy to combat such abuse:
1. Educate Scouting volunteers, parents, and Scouts to aid in the detection and prevention of child abuse.
2. Strengthen leader selection procedures to prevent offenders from entering the Boy Scouts of America leadership ranks.
3. Strengthen policies that create barriers to child abuse within the BSA program.
4. Encourage Scouts to report improper behavior so that offenders can be identified quickly.
5. Swiftly remove and report alleged offenders.
If at any time you suspect an instance of child abuse within the Scouting movement, you must contact your local council Scout Executive immediately. Each Scout Executive has established contacts with local child protective and law enforcement agencies, and is aware of procedures to be followed to ensure that children will be protected from any further abuse.
As a volunteer in Scouting, adult leaders are cautioned not to be investigators of allegations of child abuse. Reports of suspected abuse can best be handled by trained professionals working in cooperation with the local council Scout executive. As long as reports are made in good faith, all states provide immunity from liability to those who report suspected abuse.
SEXUAL ABUSE
Child molesters - individuals who sexually abuse children.
They do not fit into any profile.
They come from any walk of life, even respected community professionals
May be members of their victims' own families.
Children also sometimes molest other children
With their parents or guardian, all boys joining a Cub Scout pack must complete parents' guide entitled: How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse in the first pages of your sons Cub Scout Handbook..
STANDARDS OF YOUTH PROTECTION
BSA selects the best possible leader.
Policies have been adopted by the BSA provide additional security for youth and to protect adult leadership from situations in which they may be vulnerable to allegations of abuse:
· Two-deep leadership. Two registered adult leaders or one registered adult leader and a parent of a participant, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required on all trips and outings.
· The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities.
· One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is not permitted. In situations that require personal interaction such as a Scoutmasters Conference, the meeting should be conducted in view of at least one other adult.
· Adult leadership must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing into swimming suits or taking showers at camp. In similar situations, adults should also protect their own privacy.
· Separate accommodations. When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult who is not that youth's own parent or guardian.
· Councils are strongly encouraged to have separate shower and latrine facilities for females. When separate facilities are not available, separate times for male and female use of showers should be scheduled and posted.
· No secret organizations. All aspects of Cub Scouting are open at all times for observation by parents or guardians and pack leaders.
· No hazing. Physical hazing and initiations are prohibited by the Boy Scouts of America and may not be included as part of any Scouting activity.
· Appropriate attire. Proper clothing is required for all Scouting activities. Skinny-dipping is not condoned by the BSA.
"AWARDS FOR TRAINING, TENURE, PERFORMANCE, AND DEDICATION"

All of the awards require the completion of Fast Start Training, Basic Leader Training for the position, Youth Protection training, and participation in roundtables or a pow wow or University of Scouting. Some require additional supplemental training. One or two years of registered service in the appropriate position is a requirement for each award, and tenure used for one award may not be used for another.

CUB SCOUT DAY CAMP
Cub Scout Day Camp ideally encourages participation of den and pack leaders to strengthen packs so their boys benefit and grow with a good outdoor experience. The Camp is an outdoor experience where Cub Scouts participate in individual and team sports, games, crafts, explore nature and work on achievements, electives and badges. Boys have fun in the outdoors -- thats Cub Scout Day Camp.
The Cub Scout Day Camp program is designed to teach skills and develop attitudes that make a boy more self-reliant and more at home in the outdoors. He will have fun with a purpose. The purpose is to build character while providing a memorable experience in the life of a boy. Make sure your boys get Cub Scouting at its best by attending Cub Scout Day Camp.
All Cub Scouts -- from this years Tiger Cubs to Webelos Scouts -- are encouraged to attend. Day Camp is usually the first camping experience for a Scout. Boys attend Day Camp and return home each day. There is no overnight camping. Scouts participate in outdoor activities centered around a camping theme. Each boy will receive a shirt to ware at camp and a patch for their regular uniform.
Day Camp is a program of the Utah National Parks Council, Boy Scouts of America and is made available through each of the Councils Districts. It meets the standards of the National Council, BSA and is inspected annually to assure you of a high quality, successful camping experience.
For more information about Day Camp opportunities in your area, contact your District Day Camp Committee, your District Executive.

The Pine Wood Derby Committee
http://www.geocities.com/~pack215/soup-to-nuts.html
A successful and fun Pinewood Derby is highly dependent on the work of the "Pinewood Derby Committee." Begin to assemble this group of volunteers early in the Scouting year. It is important to try to bring in several Pinewood 'veterans' to maintain the continuity you get from 'experienced people' who know what works (and what doesn't.) Conversely, it is very important to recruit some 'first-timers' as well. They'll be running the Derby in a couple of years! The following job descriptions illustrate the responsibilities of each functional position:

The first part of May

June is generally the best month for Cub Day Camp as it is not too hot. Always schedule it for the last week of June.

These awards are granted to an entire unit (den or pack) rather than to an individual adult or youth member. Pursuing these recognitions can be a great way to practice teamwork and foster a sense of unity.
NATIONAL QUALITY UNIT AWARD
One measure of a Cub Scout pack's success is fulfilling the requirements for the national
Quality Unit Award. There are 10 requirements, of which four are mandatory*:

5. Pack Meetings. We will hold a minimum of nine pack meetings a year, and the pack will earn the National Summertime Pack Award.
6. Tiger Cubs. We will have one or more Tiger Cub dens in our pack.
7. Service Project. We will conduct a service project annually, preferably for the chartered organization or the community. We will report our projects on the www.goodturnforamerica.org Web site.
8. Advancement. Seventy percent or more of our Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts will advance a rank, or we will have a 10 percent increase over a year ago. Approved rank advancements for this recognition include Tiger Cub badge, Bobcat, Wolf Cub Scout, Bear Cub Scout, Webelos Scout, and Arrow of Light.

The National Den Award recognizes dens that conduct a quality, year-round program. Service projects, Cub Scout Academics and Sports, field trips, character development, and Cub Scout camping are areas that are emphasized. Dens earn the award as a team, not as individual den members. The recognition is a ribbon for the den flag or den doodle.
To earn the National Den Award, a Cub Scout den must
Once the requirements are completed as stated, the signed National Den Award application is sent to the local council service center where the ribbon can be obtained.
An application for the National Den Award may be downloaded from the Cub Scout forms page at: http://www.scouting.org/cubscouts/download/forms.html
A pack can qualify for the National Summertime Pack Award certificate and streamer by planning and conducting three pack activitiesone each in June, July, and August. This award can be an incentive for greater attendance at your summer pack activities.
Qualifying packs receive a colorful streamer for their pack flag. Dens with an average attendance of at least half their members at the three summer pack events will be eligible for a colorful den participation ribbon. Boys who participate in all three pack events are eligible to receive the National Summertime Pack Award pin, which they can wear on the right pocket flap of their uniform.
The purpose of the National Summertime Pack Award is to encourage packs to provide a year-round program by continuing to meet during the time periods when school is out of session for several weeks or months. If a pack is in a "year-round school" (or is part of a home-school association), the pack could earn the Summertime Pack Award by having a special pack activity during those breaks.
An application for the National Summertime Pack Award may be downloaded from the Cub Scout forms page.
The World Conservation Award is worn on the uniform shirt,
centered on the right pocket as a TEMPORARY patch.
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.
The World Conservation Award provides an opportunity for individual Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers 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 or Bear Cub Scouts, and by Webelos Scouts.
This award can be earned only once while you are in Cub Scouting
(i.e. as either a Wolf Cub Scout, a Bear Cub Scout, or as a Webelos
Scout).
As a Wolf Cub Scout, you can earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award by doing the following:
As a Bear Cub Scout, you can earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award by doing the following:
As a Webelos Scout, you can earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award by doing the following:
The Leave No Trace Awareness Award
is worn on the uniform shirt,
centered on the right pocket as a TEMPORARY patch.
Only ONE Temporary patch may be worn at a time.
I promise to practice the Leave No Trace frontcountry guidelines wherever I go:
"A Scout is reverent." All Scouts show this by being faithful in their duty to God. Some go further and give special service. This can qualify them for a religious emblem. Such an emblem is not a Scouting award. It is conferred on a Scout by his religious leader. Each faith has its own requirements for earning its emblem. Listed below are the TIGER CUB, CUB SCOUT, AND WEBELOS SCOUT emblems and where to find out about them. Before writing or visiting your local council service center, check with your religious leader. (Unless indicated otherwise below, awards listed may be earned by both Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts, but not by Tiger Cubs)
Most of the awards consist of bar pins, ribbons, and pendants, and are worn on the uniform above the left pocket on formal occasions. In addition, the Religious Emblem Square knot, shown at the top of this page, may be worn on the uniform over the left pocket by youth or adults who earned any of the religious awards. One or more miniature devices are affixed to the knot to indicate which level(s) of the award was earned. For more information on the Youth Religious Emblem square knot patch.
