Speciality Badges
PURPOSE
To provide opportunities for Cubs as individuals, or as a group to undertake initiatives of their own recognizance and develop a program of their own design and obligations.
BADGES
There are two badges. An individual or Pack Specialty badge.
CUB INDIVIDUAL SPECIALTY BADGE
PACK SPECIALTY BADGE
LINKING BADGE
CUB INDIVIDUAL SPECIALTY BADGE (ISB) (Updated August 2002)
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.
As the requirements of the Individual Specialty Badges are developed
by the individual Cub, your role is to help the Cub define what they
want to do.
PACK SPECIALTY BADGE (PSB) (Updated August 2002)
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.
- A pack may change its Specialty Badge once a year if it wishes
This is a great way to fill out the program year when you look for
input from your Cubs and Sixers council. If your Sixer's establish
a Pack Specialty badge that the Pack would like to do annually,
then this is the badge that you can promote.
LINKING BADGE (LNK)
Purpose: To provide a way to recognize a Cub
has performed a link with the Beaver colony. This badge may be worn
by a 1st year Cub as recognition that they have been part of a linking
activity when they were in their third year of the Colony.
Requirements: Participate in a linking activity
with third year Beavers.
The link badge is awarded to Cubs at investiture (preferably by their old Beaver leader) in recognition that they were once a beaver (Cub's Leader book, Investiture Ceremony)
