Other Youth Awards
In addition to the awards available through the Cub Scout advancement program and the Academics and Sports program, Cub Scouts may earn a number of individual awards, including the following:
Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award
Tiger Cubs, Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts have the opportunity to earn the Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award. This award recognizes the Scout's participation in outdoor recreation and conservation projects, and can often be earned in conjunction with other Scouting activities.
Religious Emblem
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, many religious groups have instituted programs that enable youth to earn a religious emblem. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. However, the emblems are awarded through the various religious organizations rather than the BSA. Click on the following link for additional information:

Cub Scout World Conservation Award
Webelos Scouts can earn the Cub Scout World Conservation Award by earning the Forester, Naturalist, and Outdoorsman activity badges and participating in a den or pack conservation project.
Leave No Trace Awareness Award
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and helps them protect it for future generations. Cub Scouts and leaders are eligible to earn the Leave No Trace Awareness Award.

Emergency Preparedness Award
Emergency preparedness means being prepared for all kinds of emergencies, able to respond in time of crisis to save lives and property and to help a community—or even a nation—return to normal life after a disaster occurs. To encourage Scouts of all ages to be prepared for emergency situations, the BSA has approved an Emergency Preparedness Award program for members of all ages.

Cub Scouts who participate in Cub Scout derbies, field days, and other competitive events can win medals for their performance and participation. These medals can be displayed on the Scout's uniform at appropriate events.
