Is this not even more true of a high school diploma? The watering down of requirements makes the award be it academic or in scouting less meaningful and fewer desire their sons to be part of a declining organization.
The National seems to be playing a balancing act. They are struggling with declining enrollment, and have taken the view that simplifying it will attract more kids. It seems intuitive on the surface, but in my experience, that brings short term gains.
They seem to be ignoring the fact that declining enrollment is more of a case of not doing recruiting. They have relied on the individual scout to bring a friend, but that is not going to bring real growth. National is not working with councils to really do any serious marketing or recruitment of Chartered Organizations — which is the real growth avenue. All of the focus seems focused on getting kids and their parents attracted to the fun, but the effort that goes into making a Scouting program work kills that interest really fast.
It is the CO, who has a vested interest in developing the youth they serve, that will get the leaders in it for the long haul, where the program develops and will attract the kids.
Instead, National acts like the COs are an impediment. If a scout earned the religious emblem as a wolf or Bear does he have to earn it again as a Webelos? It is a different program as a Webelos. I think the answer you are looking for is — it depends. For the Webelos rank, the Duty to God and Me adventure requirement is 1. Earn the religious emblem of your faith for Webelos Scouts, if you have not already done so.
Different religious denominations handle their Cub Scout awards differently. Some have separate awards for cubs and Webelos. For those you would earn them separately. Belt loops versus pins. The whole point is to round out the program. By encouraging them to be well rounded and provide incentives to do well in school, participate in sports, and to try new hobbies. I have more of a question than comment. I just sort of got handed being in charge of the spring program, cubs only. I was wondering about the new adventure loops.
I was told by the man giving me our budget that we are not allowed to pay for belt loops, my reply was that I was told they no longer have belt loops but adventure loops. He then said we do not pay for loops period that is the responsibility of the parents. Then I spoke with my den leaders and they said that the adventure loops are the equivalent to a merit badge and that they are necessary.
So my question is am I being played by my den leaders to get the loops paid for or is this true? Thank you in advance for your help, this whole scouting thing blows my mind. Your help is greatly appreciated. Do you have a monthly schedule for den meetings?
We meet weekly and would love a resource that breaks down the activities into a schedule we can follow each year. We saw one for pack meeting. What about den? Hi, Jade. Check out the Den Leader Guides available at Scoutstuff.

There are slight differences between the Wolf and Bear Arrow Points rules. In the Bear program, achievement requirements now follow the same rules as the elective requirements. Each one is a separate project. The achievements sometimes require completion of an elective to satisfy a particular requirement.
There is more to merit badges than simply providing opportunities to learn skills. Accomplishments before joining, or while a Cub Scout, do not apply. Do Cub Scouts still earn belt loops? Cub Scouts have been earning belt loops for individual and team sports since and for academic subjects since , and it's no doubt they enjoyed the bling. What are the easiest merit badges to earn? Camp merit badges vs. Camp badges are easy and take 5 days, for the most part. You can earn over a week with ease.
Automotive Maintenance. Coin Collecting. What is the difference between Webelos and Arrow of Light? The only change is that earning Webelos rank is no longer required to earn the Arrow of Light. The difference between Webelos and other dens is that Webelos dens work on both the Webelos rank and the Arrow of Light. Can guys join Girl Scouts?
Girl Scouts USA does not accept boys. Boy Scouts of America has accepted women in several programs since the s. The change in policy allows girls to join the Cub Scouts and the program known as Boy Scouts, known internationally as Scouts. How much does it cost to join the Cub Scouts?
