Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award

This Award is meant for Cub Scouts.

---

 

RETIRED 2024 as part of complete Cub Scout program redesign. Many awards were redone as elective adventures.

---

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 the uniform.

In each additional year that the scout 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.
