Last night at the Pack Meeting you heard a lot of Scouts earning "belt loops." The nifty and ultra cool metal loops that slip onto your Scout's belt and declares that he has learned a few things about an academic area or a particular sport.
So, how does your little man get in on the action?
It's easy! You can find a list of all the possible belt loops and the requirements for earning a belt loop at:
Just click on the name of the belt loop and the requirements will pop up. There are always three relatively simple requirements necessary to earn a belt loop. Once you decide which belt loops you and your Scout would like to pursue, just print out a worksheet, fill it out, and then turn it in at a Den Meeting and we'll make sure he get the award at the next Pack Meeting (the Pack covers the costs of all the awards). He can earn as many as he would like. So have fun!
A note on Pins:
If your Scout is not content with just earning a belt loop, he may go further and choose five additional requirements from the list of ten or so and earn a pin in addition to the belt loop (you'll find the list on the same worksheet that you print for the belt loop). Your Scout can't wear the pins on his uniform, but I'm sure that you can find a special way to display them at home.
UPDATED: There is a vest that you may purchase at the Scout store. You may place pins and patches earned, but that are not appropriate for uniforms (like the Camping patch), on the vest. There are no requirements to "earn" the vest, you may purchase it (or not) at your discretion.
