Whittling Chip
Cub Scouts are encouraged to learn safety rules and the proper use of a pocketknife. Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may earn the right to carry a pocketknife to designated Scouting functions by completing requirements for the Whittlin' Chip card. Cub Scout-age boys may not use sheath knives. Cubs should wait until they become Boy Scouts before they use any other woods tools.

World Conservation Badge
The World Conservation Award provides an opportunity for individual Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers to "think globally" and "act locally" to preserve and improve our environment. This program is designed to make youth members aware that all nations are closely related through natural resources and that we are interdependent with our world environment.

Leave No Trace Badge
"Leave No Trace" is a nationally recognized outdoor skills and ethics education program. The Boy Scouts of America is committed to this program. The principles of Leave No Trace are not rules; they are guidelines to follow at all times.
Instilling values in young people and preparing them to make ethical choices throughout their lifetime is the mission of the Boy Scouts of America. Leave No Trace helps reinforce that mission, and reminds us to respect the rights of other users of the outdoors as well as future generations. Appreciation for our natural environment and a knowledge of the interrelationships of nature bolster our respect and reverence toward the environment and nature.

Arrow of Light
Tiger Cubs is an exciting introduction to the scouting program for
first grade boys (or 7 years old) excited to get going! Tiger Cubs do
stuff - lots of stuff - with their adult partners. This program is
intended to open up the world to inquisitive minds along with the
caring guidance of adults. The first steps along the Boy Scout Trail
are laid here and every rank advancement through the scouting
program builds on the basic categories of activity done as tigers.
The Tiger Cub program runs on two levels. The scout and his adult
partner meet weekly to do activities centered around the family.
Then, the scout and adult partner meet with the rest of the tiger den
to fulfill Den Activity and Go See It requirements. Tigers also can
choose from 50 elective projects to work on!

Religious Emblem
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed religious emblems programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs. Check with your local council service center or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.
