Cub Scout World Conservation Award

[rjscout 11]

Have the rules changed for the Cub Scout World Conservation Award? I looked up the award on scouting.org, and the description states:

 

"Webelos Scouts can earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award by earning the Forester, Naturalist, and Outdoorsman activity badges and taking part in a den or pack conservation project."

 

I recall reading that Wolf and Bear scouts could earn the award, but that is not listed on scouting.org. I was hoping to get a full description to send out to my Den Leaders. We have awarded this award to the boys in a Wolf Den last month, so the scout shop is (was) allowing the younger ranks to receive the award.

 

Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

No, the rules haven't changed. Wolves and Bears may also earn the World Conservation Award.

 

You're right, that page only has the Webelos requirements. There is a reference to Wolves here:

But I can't find the requirements on Scouting.org.

 

Here are the requirements from the U.S. Scouting service project:

Infoscouter,

 

Yes, it is strange. I have seen the requirements in each rank handbook, and I have seen it on the U.S. Scouting Service Project, but I wanted to get the official scouting.org reference to send my Den Leaders. That's when I found the reference with the missing Wolf and Bear.

 

Thanks for checking!
