Individual Specialty BadgeCUB INDIVIDUAL SPECIALTY BADGE (ISB) (Updated August 2002)
Purpose: To provide a way to recognize a Cub who has a special interest.

Requirements:

  1. 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.
  2. Topics selected for this badge should not be covered by any other badges or stars.
  3. 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.


Group Specialty BadgePACK SPECIALTY BADGE (PSB) (Updated August 2002)
Purpose: To provide a way to recognize a pack that has a special interest.

Requirements:

  1. The pack will identify all requirements for this badge with the guidance of leaders.
  2. A pack may have only one Specialty Badge at a time.
  3. 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 BadgeLINKING 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)
