The Boy Scout Trail web site has meeting, song, craft and game ideas for every rank.

Beyond the Ranks There are lots of other awards beyond the rank badge! Here are just a few examples of other awards.

	Earn the Cub Scouting Outdoor Activity Award You can earn it each rank year and add a wolf track to the patch! See BSA for more information.
	Check out the Academic and Sports belt loop and pin requirements. The pack will award a specific belt loop to a scout only twice -- once as a Cub (Tiger, Wolf, Bear) and once as a Webelos. But there's plenty to choose from so try something new! You can work on these alone, with your den or at camp.
	How about the Summertime Award? Just attend at least one Pack, District or Council event for June, July and August!
	Scouts can earn the Good Turn for America award by participating with the pack in at least one of the following annual activities: Scouting for Food, Spring or Fall park cleanup, Dune Grass planting, Color Guard duties, and much more. Each calendar year, a year strip can be earned. For more information on the national program, see Boy Scout trail.
	The BSA Family Award leads your family through a group of activities to strengthen your family bonds and increase your enjoyment of scouting. It can be earned once every twelve months. This program does not follow the rank or calendar year, each family works on their own. Check here for or at the Boy Scout Trail more information.
	Conservation has always been an integral part of the program of the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts have rendered distinguished public service by helping to conserve wildlife, energy, forests, soil, and wate in the local communities. Conservation projects should involve the entire Cub Scout pack - scouts, leaders, and family members. Hands-on projects help Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts realize that everyone can do things to care for the environment. Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts participating in the Conservation Good Turn can also meet some advancement requirements.
	Learn how to protect our outdoors and earn the Leave No Trace award. You can work on this each rank year, the pack will award it to you once. See the BSA for more information.
	Webelos have two more awards they can earn. The Super Achiever is earned by completing ALL the 20 Activity Pins before their Arrow of Light ceremony. This award is a council-specific award, not an official advancement award.
	Attendance Award The first year this is earned, you receive the pin and a "1 Year" hanger. Each subsequent year, you receive the next year hanger to add below the previous ones. How do you qualify? Miss only two pack or den events during the school year.
	The World Conservation Award can be earned once during your Cub Scouting career.
	The Religious Emblem program shows that a "Scout is Reverent". Each religion has it's own program and requirements. The scout works on it with his family and religious organization. See BSA for more information or at the Theorodore Rooservelt Religious Religions webpage.
	Whittling Chip Award: Bear scouts and Webelos scouts may earn the privilege of carrying a pocketknife to Cub Scout functions. The objective of this award is to make scouts aware that: 'A Cub Scout knife is an important tool. You can do many things with its blades. The cutting blade is the one you will use most of the time. With it you can make shavings and chips and carve all kinds of things. You must be very careful when you whittle or carve. Take good care of your knife. Always remember that a knife is a tool, not a toy. Use it with care so that you don't hurt yourself or ruin what you are carving.' Click here For more information.
	Emergency Preparedness BSA: This Award is given when a member has fulfilled the requirements, a completed application is submitted to the council. Upon approval, an Emergency Preparedness pin is awarded. The pin may be worn on civilian clothing or on the uniform, centered on the left pocket flap. The award may be earned more than once; for instance, as a young person advances through the ranks and is capable of more complex preparedness activities, but only one pin may be worn.
