INTRODUCTION
Cub Scouts is designed to help boys
grow, advance and have fun. 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.
* Participation may take place at home,
with the family, or within a den, a pack, or the community.
* Adult participation by a parent or
adult relative, if possible, is strongly recommended for Cub
Scouts and Webelos Scouts and is required for Tiger Cubs.
* Emphasis is placed 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.
* The primary focus of the program is on
scholarship and sportsmanship.
* The Academics portion of the program
covers a variety of subjects, including art, chess,
citizenship, communicating, computers, geography, heritages,
mathematics, music, science, weather, and wildlife
conservation.
* The Sports portion of the program
includes summer and winter sports, indoor and outdoor sports,
active and less-active sports, and team and individual
sports.
* Cub Scouts who have disabilities may
select their own activities and design their own fitness or
academic program with the help of a physician, teacher, or
parent.
* Be sure your scout gets a recognition
item for completing requirements by reporting completion to
his den leader or pack awards chairperson.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
