Cub Scout World Conservation Award Patch

Cub Scout
World Conservation Award


The requirements below were effective through May 31, 2015, when the Cub Scout advancement program was completely revised.

The World Conservation Award is worn on the uniform shirt,
centered on the right pocket as a TEMPORARY patch.

Only ONE Temporary patch may be worn at a time, but Cub or Webelos Scouts may wear the Progress Through Ranks (Immediate Recognition) or Webelos Compass Points Emblem suspended from the right pocket button in addition to any temporary patch sewn on the pocket.


The World Conservation Award provides an opportunity for individual Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers to "think globally" and "act locally" to preserve and improve our environment. This program is designed to make youth members aware that all nations are closely related through natural resources and that we are interdependent with our world environment.
