Handy, pocket-sized card is a great reference for Cub Scouts to keep with them while learning the Scout Oath, Scout Law, and Cub Scout Motto. Have the card laminated to carry as a daily reminder to always be guided by Cub Scouting principles!



This is a great thing to give to Cub Scouts at their first Pack Meeting and helps them move towards getting their Bobcat rank.

Cub Scout Adventure Pocket Certificate to be given out at Pack Meeting to recognize completed adventures


The new Cub Scout program contains a series of “adventures” which Cub Scouts (individually and as part of their den) will experience while working on their badge of rank. Once a Cub Scout has completed the six core adventures—including one on “Duty to God” and one of his den’s choosing—he will have earned his badge of rank. 

This pocket certificate is given to a Cub Scout in recognition of his completion of an “adventure.” 



There are spaces on the card to enter the Scout's name, adventure completed, pack number, date he earned it, Den Leader and Cubmaster signatures. Use this to recognize the Cub Scouts during your monthly pack meeting.

This prints 8 pocket certificates, per page.  These "portrait" cards work well when the boys are saving their cards in the baseball card plastic holders.  Then they are facing the right way as boys look through their card collection.

STEM/Nova Program for Cub Scouts STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ~ talks about the Nova & Supernova Awards also




STEM is part of an initiative the Boy Scouts of America has taken on to encourage the natural curiosity of youth members and their sense of wonder about these fields through existing programs. From archery to welding, Scouts can't help but enjoy the wide range of STEM-related activities. To support this initiative, the BSA developed the Nova Awards program so that youth members have fun and receive recognition for their efforts.

What Are the Nova Awards? The Boy Scouts of America developed the Nova Awards program to excite and expand a sense of wonder in our Scouts.  By  working with  an adult  counselor  or mentor,  the various  modules allow them  to  explore the  basic principles of STEM and discover how fun and fascinating STEM can be. The Supernova awards are offered for those who  enjoy  a  super  challenge.  For  more  information  about  STEM  and  the  Nova  Awards  program,  visit www.scouting.org/stem. Discover how the Nova Awards program helps youth be "Prepared. For Life."

A special thank you to Laura Rytting for donating this 12 page PDF document for us.  Laura is in the Timpanogos District, Utah National Parks Council.
