      1960s Cub Scout Timeline Help

      By Chgodon · Posted

      Thanks you're giving something to work with.  1. I used a magnifying glass on first photo. Some Bear & Wolf nose and ears photos look extremely similar online. So you're saying my slide is a "wolf?" I can not see it on the gold necker.  2. So my uniform would have been the same for Wolf, Bear & Webelos in the 1960's?  3. My birthday is 2/1/1961. I have a 2rd grade photo dated 10/23/1968. I would have turned 7 yrs old. I would have graduated from 2nd grade in May 1969, which I would have turned 8 yrs old. The photo with my mom is dated 5/1972, which means I would have turned 11 yrs old and just graduated 5h grade in May 1972. I think I read that Wolf is for current 2nd grade or 7 yrs old. Bear is for current 3rd grade or 8 yrs old. Not sure if that's correct. 4. My main mission is to confirm if those photos are Wolf or Bear, so I can re-collect the correct handbook and pieces. 5. Those numbers on left patch in photo 2 are confusing. I wish I had better straight on photos. You don't think of it in those years. lol

      I was a Cub Scout a few years after you, but my brother is a few years older than I. I don't recall ever having different slides per rank like they do now- everyone wore the gold necker with the same slide until Webelos (and that is a wolf image on the necker slide, just as it is on the the gold necker and hat). Third grade would have been Bear then as it is now. At age 11, you may have been a Webelos (Webelos is both the singular and the plural BTW) if you had not yet finished 5th grade .  In that time period, Webelos still wore the blue Cub Scout uniform and not the Boy Scout uniform as is the typical today.

      National Medal for Outdoor Achievement

      By InquisitiveScouter · Posted

      The patch and the medal are two different awards. The patch is the National Outdoor Achievement Award (NOAA), and it has six separate areas of requirements for which you may earn a segment:  Camping, Aquatics, Hiking, Riding, Adventure, and Conservation. The National Medal for Outdoor Achievement (NMOA) is much more difficult, and includes several NOAA (with devices) as requirements.

      Looking at some old school photos, I'm thinking I was about 8 yrs old in 3rd grade in these photos. The photo of my mother (den mother) and I is stamped 1972. Can you be a Bear at 11 yrs old? I assume if you  "enter" into the Cub Scouts at 11 yrs old, you would be a Weblo. I used a magnifying glass and my neckerchief slider looks like a Bear even though the Bear & Wolf look identical. Hope this info and photos help. Also can't figure out the unit patch number due to the angle.  Appreciate any help from Cub Scout historians.

      Just because they aren't selling a medal and you can only buy a patch, why is everyone saying there's no longer an award? Maybe the bsa is trying to cut costs and simplify things. I can't fault them for that.
