Rank Patches and Neckerchiefs
Adventure Belt Loops and Pins
Activity-based elective belt loops for all ranks: Scouts can now earn adventure belt loops for participating in the Pinewood Derby, for camping and fishing, cycling and swimming. The former World Convservation Award has now become the Champions of Nature award availble through all ranks.
Summertime Fun Award: By participating in at least one pack activity each month of the summer (or 3 total), scouts earn this award.
Cub Scouts and Knife Safety: A Cub Scout may use a pocket knife at a scouting event if they've earned the appropriate belt loop in their den. For Bears: the Whittling Belt Loop. For Webelos: Chef's Knife Belt Loop. For AoL: Knife Safety Belt Loop. Scouts have to recertify each year, even if they earned the belt loop the previous year.
