Cub Badges

Cubs like badges, lots of them!

Many of the 36 activity badges are completed throughout the year within the termly programme, however some can be completed at home using worksheets.

These staged badges are less difficult at Level 1 rising to Level 5 and are continuous through all of the sections. Some of the badges can be signed off by the Cub’s teacher/instructor.

• Emergency Aid (within the Pack, unless attending a St John’s Ambulance or a Red Cross youth group)
• Hikes away (within the Pack)
• Information Technology (within the Pack or by a teacher)
• Musician ***(within the Pack for Level 1, Level 2 and above by a music teacher)
• Nights Away (within the Pack)
• Swimming ***(within the Pack or by a swimming instructor)

Conversion from swimming lesson badges to Staged Badge

Level 1 = 5 & 6, Level 2 = 7 & 8 Level 3 = 9 Level 4 = Bronze and Silver Level 5 = Gold

***Print off the instructions and ask your teacher/instructor to sign off the level you have achieved

Note: When a higher badge is awarded the lower badge is removed from the Cub jumper
