Cub Scout Sports

Ultimate Belt Loop

Ultimate

The information below was effective through May 31, 2015, when the Cub Scout advancement program was completely revised.

As part of the program changes, the Cub Scout Academics and Sports programs, including the Belt Loop and Pin mentioned here, was discontinued as of June 1, 2015.

The requirements listed below were taken from the
Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program Guide (34299B - 2006 Printing).

All three of the requirements for the Loop, and requirements 1, 2, and 4-9  for the Pin were revised
and requirement 10 for the Pin was added since the previous edition - (34299A - 2002 Revision).
The revisions were primarily to add options for disc golf.

These requirements have been superseded by those in 34299 - 2009 Revision.
