The Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program 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. Emphasis is on introducing a boy to a sport or academic subject,
allowing him to participate in it and encouraging him to do his best.
The Academics and Sports program focuses on learning and skill
development—not winning. 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. 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. The Academics and Sports belt loops are intended to be worn with the Cub Scout uniform.
