Other Awards You Can Earn
Besides the advancement awards and the Academics and Sports belt loops and
pins, Cub Scouts may earn other individual awards. Set your sights on these:
Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award
Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may earn the Cub
Scout Outdoor Activity Award. This award recognizes the Scout for taking part
in outdoor recreation and conservation projects. In many cases, you can earn
this award while doing other Scouting activities.

Religious Emblems
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, many religious groups
have programs for young people to earn a religious emblem. The Boy Scouts of
America approves of these programs and allows the religious emblems to be worn
on the official uniform.
For a list of emblems programs, and a list of awards provided by each faith
or religious group, see the
Religious Emblems Programs
page.
Cub Scout World Conservation Award
Webelos Scouts can earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award by earning
the Forester, Naturalist, and Outdoorsman activity badges and taking part in
a den or pack conservation project.
Cub Scouting's Leave No Trace Awareness Award
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people take better care of the
environment and protect it for future generations. Cub Scouts and their
leaders may earn the Leave No Trace Awareness Award.

Emergency Preparedness Award
"Emergency preparedness" means being ready for all kinds of emergencies.
It means you're ready and able to help in times of trouble to save lives and
property and to help a community—or even a nation—get back to normal
after a disaster happens. To encourage Scouts of all ages to be prepared for
emergencies, the BSA has approved an Emergency Preparedness Award program
for members of all ages. To learn more about the award requirements and to

Emergency Preparedness Award page.
Medals
Cub Scouts who compete in Cub Scout derbies, field days, and other
competitive events can win medals to wear on their uniform.
