NOTE TO PARENTS & LEADERS:
THESE BELTLOOPS CAN BE EARNED AT ANY TIME, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME OF THESE WILL HAVE TO RE-EARNED TO FULFILL WEBELOS REQUIREMENTS! FOR EXAMPLE, THE CITIZENSHIP BELTLOOP WOULD HAVE TO BE EARNED WHILE THE SCOUT IS IN THE WEBELOS DEN TO COUNT TOWARDS THE CITIZEN REQUIREMENT, WHICH THEY MUST EARN TO GET THEIR WEBELOS PATCH. |

IF YOU ARE UNSURE WHICH BELTLOOPS ARE REQUIRED TO BE EARNED AS WEBELOS, PLEASE SEE THE WEBELOS DEN LEADER(S).
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.
This program is meant to supplement the existing advancement and recognition program for Tigers, Cub Scouts, Webelos -- it does not replace it. Each activity has two levels of involvement: first, the belt loop; and second, the pin.
The Belt Loop: There are three specific requirements for each belt loop. As a Cub Scout completes these requirements, he is encouraged to do his best to learn about the activity. The Cub Scout or Webelos Scout can take part in one of three ways: (1) individually or with the family, (2) in the den or pack, or (3) in the school or the community. When a Tiger Cubs participate in these activities, their adult partners must accompany them.
The Pin: Once the boy has earned the belt loop, he may choose to stop; however, some boys will want to continue with the activity. A Tiger Cub, Cub Scout, or Webelos Scout may complete additional requirements to earn a pin.
There are two categories in which there are numerous opportunities for earning the belt loop and pin: Academics and Sports.
