Cub Scout World Conservation Award

[rjscout 11]

I was thinking that the Cub Scout World Conservation Award could be earned by Wolf, Bear, and Webelos. When looking on scouting.org, I see the description:

 

Cub Scout World Conservation Award

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.

 

NO mention of Wolf or Bear. When did this change?

This is what I've got:

 

The Cub Scout version of the World Conservation Award can be earned by Wolf or Bear Cub Scouts, and by Webelos Scouts.

 

This award can be earned only once while you are in Cub Scouting (i.e. as either a Wolf Cub Scout, a Bear Cub Scout, or as a Webelos Scout).

 

As a Wolf Cub Scout, you can earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award by doing the following:

1. Complete achievement #7 - Your Living World

All Cub Scouts can earn it except Tigers. Probably a hold over from when they were their own separate program and has not been rectified yet. Each level has their own requirements.

Those are the requirement I have seen over the years. I was surprised that scouting.org left out wolf and bear.

In looking at my son's Wolf HB last nite, preparing for CSDC program, the WOLF requirements are listed. I am assuming that the Bear and Webelos ones are in their books.

 

Too bad Tigers can't earn it, although they can earn the Summertime Award, and Outdoor Activity Award.

 

 

Just remember: teh CS World Conservation Award is a TEMPORARY PATCH THAT DOES NOT REPLACE THE WORLD CREST ( caps for emphaisis) That's a Scouting legend.
