Participation patches are given
when a boy joins his fellow Den or Pack members in certain "official"
activities and are at the discretion of the Pack Leadership. Some
past patches have included Popcorn Fundraiser, Camporee, and Scouting
for Food. These are to encourage boys to be actively involved
in Den and pack activities. Only one participation patch ("temporary
patch") may be worn on the uniform at a time. The rest can
be worn on a red patch vest that can be worn with the uniform.
The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program
is a supplemental enrichment program that complements the existing
Cub Scout program. Cub Scouts at all levels can work towards earning
belt loops and pins. The belt loops have fairly simple requirements,
and provide immediate recognition. They are awarded at the Pack
meetings and can be worn on the Cub Scout belt. After completing
additional, slightly more difficult requirements, a Scout can
earn the corresponding pin in that academic or sports area.
Your
Den Leader can provide you with a list of all available belt loops
and pins. You can also view a list at the pack website - www.pack112.com.
Certain belt loops and pins, namely Archery and BB Shooting, can
only be earned at a Council sponsored event (but not Cub Family
Weekend).
The
policy of Pack 112 is to purchase one of each belt loop earned
by a boy through his Cub Scouting career. The boy may earn the
belt loop each year and it can be purchased by the parent and
awarded at the Pack meeting, but the pack only pays for the first
time the belt loop is earned. This is done to encourage them to
complete to other belt loops or to attempt the more difficult
requirements of the pin.
