Boy Scout Activities
There's nothing like a challenging group activity to make a group of boys work together to solve a problem and grow in confidence. Scouting is a game with a purpose and that game is usually played outdoors, with a lot of physical activity. Use these ideas to help your unit have fun and learn skills while increasing their leadership and teamwork.
Activities for: Lions Tigers Wolfs Bears Webelos Boy ScoutsThese outdoor activities can be beneficial to all youth groups. Take into account the age, physical abilities, and preferences of the members of your group when choosing one. Youth group activity, whether scouting or not, needs to be challenging, fun, and new - don't use your same old games over and over. Try something new today.

We have an event scheduled for September of 2014 called "Knights Quest". We have jousting, swords fights, mace battles, a castle siege, tower climb, pugal sticks, knights quiz and challenge, troop movements, grail search and other activities.
Make swords from PVC pipe, 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch. Wrap with pipe insulation foam and duct tape. Let your imagination go wild. Maces can be made using Nerf Footballs, basketballs and PVC pipes wrapped in duct tape.
Use football or baseball helmets for protection.
Aug 12, 2018 - Buck LandersMy son participated in Cub Scout
Day Camp this year. He did Shooting
Sports hiking fishing and didn't
receive any recognition for his
efforts in any of this. It's my
understanding that they have done
away with a sports and academics
belt loop program and it was
replaced with the badges with a pen
for the event that they were
participating in or have earned.
What is going to be the replacement
for the badges now or has anybody
come up with any ideas yet?
Aug 13, 2018 - Jane@Buck - The Cub Scout Academics & Sports Program was discontinued. However, there is a new Shooting Sports Awards program for Cub Scouts:
www.scouting.org/outdoor-programs/shooting-sports/cub-scout-shooting-sports/
Depending on your son's den level (Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos) he might have also worked on some requirements for an adventure loop or pin.
You could also take a look at the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award requirements (by attending a day camp, he has already fulfilled one of the requirements):
www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/leaders/awards/cs-outdoor-activity-award/
Some packs also choose to offer fun patches or other awards for hiking, service hours, etc. You would need to talk to your pack's leadership to find out if they have anything like that.
