Earning the Awards

Level 1 involves participation in a discipline and acquiring basic knowledge of proper technique, safety, and operations in that discipline.

Level 2 is designed to help a Cub Scout develop and demonstrate further skills, proficiency, and knowledge in a shooting discipline. Level 2 requirements are rank-specific and provide a progression of skills appropriate to each age and rank of Cub Scouting. 

Cub Scouts earn the shooting sports awards in the following order:

1. Rank-level patch. Choose a discipline: BB gun, archery, or slingshot. Complete the level 1 requirements for that discipline. The patch is awarded only once per program (rank) year.

2. Discipline device (pin). Complete the level 2 requirements for the same discipline in which the patch was earned.

3. Additional discipline devices. Earn pins for the remaining disciplines by completing the level 1 and level 2 requirements in those disciplines. (NOTE: Requirements for both level 1 and level 2 must be completed for each successive discipline.)

Disciplines: BB gun, Archery, Slingshot

• Lion - Kindergarder (Archery or Slingshot Only)

2. The Scout later attends another day camp and completes the level 2 requirements and earns the BB gun pin to attach to the patch.
3. Later that year, the district holds a Cub Scout shooting sports day at the local park.
   • This time the Cub Scout completes both the level 1 and level 2 for archery.
