The Academic Program is an optional program for all Cub Scouts. It is not part of the normal requirements towards ranks (except when 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).
Currently, recognition can be earned for the following 17 sports:
Art, Astronomy, Chess, Citizenship. Collecting, Computers, Language & Culture, Geography, Geology, Heritages, Map & Compass, Mathematics, Music, Science, Weather, Wildlife Conservation.
In September, 2002, awards for Astronnomy,
Collecting, Language & Culture, Geology,
and Map & Compass were added.
The Cub Scout Academic Belt Loops are worn on the navy blue Cub Scout belt. They will not fit on the khaki (olive) Boy Scout / Webelos belt. Webelos Scouts may continue to wear the blue belt on their uniforms.
Academic belt loops for each subject may be earned once within each rank.
Academic belt loops are earned by the Cub by meeting the requirements listed.
The Cub Scout Academics Pins are worn on civilian clothes only. The pins are triangular in shape. The designs for the various pins are shown on the belt loops for each subject.
Academics pins are given in each sport for Cub Scouts to recognize physical development.
Academics pins are earned by meeting the appropriate requirements.
