It is not too late for your Cubs to earn their National Summertime Pack Awards and for the pack to earn it, to receive their attractive, full-color certificate, and National Summertime Pack Award streamer for the pack flag.
Dens with at least 50 percent of their members at the three summertime activities receive a den participation ribbon. Check it out at www.scouting.org.
And look at how they have spiffed up the pins - there is a different color ring on the pin for each year, coordinated with the slide color! No more "I don't care, I got that pin last year!"
Check out the June 2008 and August 2008 issues of Baloo's Bugle for more details on the Summertime Pack Award! (I wonder when it stopped being the Summertime Fun Award?)
You can download the form with all the instructions and requirements from National's Website.
And when the summer is over, have all your Cubs go out and earn a Recruiter Strip
Since all packs are involved in recruiting, I thought it would be appropriate for September to remind you about an incentive award for boys to get their friend to join Scouting. See Pack Admin Helps for ideas for Spring Recruiting.
Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts may be awarded, and wear, below the right pocket on their uniforms.
