NJDrew 0 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 So am a new Advancement Coordinator for our pack. When I took this position the previous coordinator handed me a big bin of old and new pins/badges/belt loops etc. Since then I have been trying to sort through all of this and separate old program from new. I got to the compass emblems and points and I'm not sure if this was continued into the new program or not. It appears that it hasn't, but I wanted to be sure before I relegated them to the storage closet bin lol. Link to post Share on other sites
CalicoPenn 729 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Welcome to the forum! The map and compass activities were part of the "Cub Scout Academics" track which has been discontinued and many of the various requirements have been assigned to new places within the new activity tracks. Hopefully, you can figure out something to do with these things rather than let them collect dust in a storage closet or find a home in a landfill. Link to post Share on other sites

meyerc13 85 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Old program. The compass was for earning four additional activity badges after the three required for Webelos in the old program. Now, the minimum to earn Webelos is seven, plus seven more for Arrow of Light, so there is less liklihood of a boy earning four more beyond the minimum. Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1615 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I like Calico's idea. Ask the CSDC people , they might have some "Special" awards you could make up with the Cub Bling. We have done such before. Also, your RoundTable Commisher might like them for the same purpose. Some plywood, varnish (or poly eurothane) a few stick on letters, presto! "Star of the Pack" , " Compass to Follow" .... Link to post Share on other sites
