Pack 3161 offers a minimum of 2 events each month during the summer to help keep our young men involved in scouting.  They can also use these events to earn 2 different awards.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AWARD

Tiger Cubs, Wolf Cub Scouts, Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts have the opportunity to earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award. Boys may earn the award in each of the program years as long as the requirements are completed each year. The first time the award is earned, the boy will receive the pocket flap award, which is to be worn on the right pocket flap of the uniform shirt. Each successive time the award is earned, a wolf track pin may be added to the flap. Leaders should encourage boys to build on skills and experiences from previous years when working on the award for a successive year.
