Have you heard about the new Academics and Sports awards that came out this year? The new ones are Disability Awareness, Family Travel, Good Manners, Nutrition, Pet Care, Photography, Reading and Writing, Videogames, Hiking, Hockey, Horseback Riding and skateboarding.
"Boys learn new techniques, increase scholarship skills, develop sportsmanship, and have fun. Emphasis is on introducing a boy to a sport or academic subject, allowing him to participate in it and encouraging him to do his best. The Academics and Sports program focuses on learning and skill development—not winning. Boys participating in the program will be recognized for enjoying teamwork, developing physical fitness, and discovering and building new talents. The Academics and Sports program encourages a boy to do his best."
To earn a belt loop or pin, have your son pick one of the subjects and complete the requirements. Then, let your Den Leader know so that they may record it in Packmaster and we'll award it at the next pack meeting.
