| Pack Achievements and Awards |
The youngest Scouts earn recognition for achievement in family, den or go-see-it activities. They participate in all Scouting events with an adult partner (usually mom or dad).
As Scouts grow, they can learn essential skills and enjoyment of outdoor activities, community involvement, personal safety, sports and the environment. They earn emblems of recognition as they progress throughout the Cub Scout achievements and electives for their age group Scouts can also earn recognition for 24 different sport accomplishments, including virtually every ball sport, plus skating, fishing and swimming.
Academic accomplishment is also very important, with recognition of accomplishment in 16 areas, including:
Art Astronomy Chess Computers Geography Heritage Language and Cultures Map and Compass Mathematics Music Science Weather Wildlife Conservation
Webelos are the oldest Scouts, and they can earn 20 pins signifying their proficiency in physical, mental, community, technology and outdoor activities.
The Webelos program also prepares boys to join Boy Scouts at the end of fifth grade.
