Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award

Cub Scouts may earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award in each of the program years as long as the requirements are completed each year. The first time the award is earned, the scout will receive the pocket flap award, which is to be worn on the right pocket flap of the uniform shirt. Each successive time the award is earned, a wolf track pin may be added to the flap. Unfortunately, Lions are not eligible at this time. This award is earned based on the rank earned by the scout at cross over.
