Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award
Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts have
the opportunity to earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award. Boys
may earn the award in each of the program years as long as the
requirements are completed each year. The first time the award is
earned, the boy will receive the pocket flap award, which is to be
worn on the right pocket flap of the uniform shirt. Each successive
time the award is earned, a wolf track pin may be added to the flap.
Leaders should encourage boys to build on skills and experiences
from previous years when working on the award for a successive
year.
