Cub Scout Sports

Skating Belt Loop 

Skating

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

As part of the program changes, the Cub Scout Academics and Sports programs, including the Belt Loop and Pin mentioned here, was discontinued as of June 1, 2015.

The requirements listed below were taken from the
Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program Guide (34299 - 1999 Edition).

These requirements have been superseded by separate requirements
for Ice Skating and  Roller Skating in 34299A - 2002 Revision.
