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.

Academics and Sports Belt Loops
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.
Academics and Sports Letter and Pins
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.
The Academics and Sports letter is available to boys for displaying
Academics and Sports pins. The letter can be worn on a
sweater or jacket, or displayed or framed. It does not go on the
uniform. There are no specific requirements for earning the letter,
as it is designed merely to display pins.
Additional Recognitions
Besides the belt loops and pins, additional recognition items
are available for the Sports and Academics program: pocket cards, medals,
trophies, and a program emblem.
