Cub Individual And Pack Specialty Badges
Scouts Canada is pleased to introduce two new Cub badges: the Individual Specialty Badge, and the Pack Specialty Badge.
These badges allow you and/or your entire pack to design requirements for special interest areas not already covered in the current badge and star system. We wish we could offer badges to meet everyone's special interests, but there are so many possibilities! The list would be never-ending.
Cub Individual Specialty Badge
Purpose : To provide a way to recognize a Cub who has a special interest.
Requirements:
- A Cub may propose a subject and requirements for this badge, or may develop them in cooperation with other members of the pack, the leaders and/or parents. The requirements should be presented to the Sixers' Council and leaders for review.
- Topics selected for this badge should not be covered by any other badges or stars.
- A Cub may hold only one Individual Specialty Badge at a time.
- A Cub may choose a new Individual Specialty once a year.
Pack Specialty Badge
Purpose : To provide a way to recognize a pack that has a special interest.
Requirements:
- The pack will identify all requirements for this badge with the guidance of leaders.
- A pack may have only one Specialty Badge at a time.
