Cub Stars and Badges
Earning Badges is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of the Cub program.
Here's a badge tip - Check your Cub book and find something you like to do - read, collect things or paint - You may have already met some of the requirements without even knowing it! Simply check off the list on the page you select, and bring your book in to the next meeting. It's as easy as that!
Cubs should check off and date badge requirements as they are met in their own Cub Book. After all requirements are met they should contact a leader at the next regular meeting. Cubs will then be tested by a leader or other qualified person for the knowledge and skills that they should have acquired while earning the badge, if the Cub created or made anything while earning the badge they should bring it at the same time as they bring their form. Once they have passed they will be presented with their badge at the next earliest opportunity.
In the event of a discrepency between the badge requirements listed here and the badge requirements as listed in the most recent edition of the Cub Book, the Cub Book is ALWAYS right.
