Cub
Scout Academics and Sports Program
The
Cub Scout Academics and Sports program complements the
scouting program by providing opportunities for scouts
to improve scholarship, develop sportsmanship, and explore
new games. The emphasis of the program is to try new things
and to put forth a best effort, not of achieving proficiency
or winning. This program is one method of addressing the
third aim of Scouting: the development of physical, mental
and emotional fitness. Fitness includes the body (well-tuned
and healthy), the mind (able to think and solve problems),
and the emotions (self-control, courage, and self-respect).
Cub Scouts of all ages from Tiger Cubs to Webelos can
participate in the Cub Scout Academics and Sports program.
Activities can be done individually, in the Den, or
as a Pack. ( Archery and BB-Gun Shooting can only be
earned through a certified instructor, not at a den
or pack level. ) A scout participating on school teams
or other organized teams may use those activities to
fulfill requirements of this scouting program.
Activities are divided into two categories: Academics
and Sports. Each category has many skills and activities
from which Scouts may choose. The Academics and Sports
program encourages a boy to do his best while learning
skills and promoting good sportsmanship.
