The Cub Scout Academics and Sports program is a supplemental enrichment program that complements the existing Cub Scouting program.  The object of the program is to help Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts learn new skills or improve those they already possess - not simply to provide an opportunity for them toe earn additional recognition.

Pack leaders should encourage dens and families to get involved in the program and make sure that they have opportunities to participate.  Many of the academic subjects and sports may become activities a boy will enjoy for the rest of his life.

All registered Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may participate in the Academics and Sports program.  Adult participation by a parent or adult relative is strongly recommended for Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts and is required for Tiger Cubs.

Participation in the program may take place individually or with the family, in the den or pack, or in the school or community.
