This Award is meant for Cub Scouts. Decide for yourself if
it is appropriate for your younger scouts (Tigers & Wolves)
or not.
Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award
Cub Scouts at all levels from Tiger to Webelos can earn
the Outdoor Activity Award. When the award is first
earned, the scout receives the pocket flap award, worn
on the right pocket flap of his uniform. In each
additional year that he earns the award, a wolf track
pin is attached to the flap. The Summertime Pack Award
pin should be pinned through this patch just like the
wolf track pins.
Successive years should build on skills and experiences
from earlier years, having the scouts participate in
more extensive activities.
Requirements:
Scouts at all ranks must attend Cub Scout day camp or
Cub Scout/Webelos Scout resident camp in the current
program year.
