Welcome to Bones - The system where Cubs earn points for their Six through badge work and service.
With the Cub motto of "Do Your Best" front and centre, Cubs are encouraged to earn bones by working on activity badges, stars, and awards, by being prepared and a good helper at camp, and by participating in community events.
At the end of the year, the Six with the most bones (per Cub) will win a reward!
How to earn Bones
Bones are earned as follows:
| # Bones | Activity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Uniform Inspection | Each Cub earns 4 bones a meeting for being neatly dressed in uniform (one each for having neat uniform, necker, sash and book). Being late for inspection, missing parts of uniforms, or missing badges on your uniform will result in you missing out on your bones! |
| 4 | Activity Badges | Each Cub earns 4 bones for his Six each time he or she earns an activity badge. |
| 12 | Stars | Each Cub earns 12 bones for his Six each time he or she earns a star. |
| 20 | Award Badges | Each Cub earns 20 bones for his Six each time he or she earns an award badge. |
| 16 | Camps | Each Cub earns up to 16 bones for his Six each time he or she attends camp. Bones are earned based on preparedness and on being a good helper. |
| 24 | Service | Each Cub earns 24 bones for his Six each time he or she participates in one of the following Service activities:

Yes you can start earning bones over the summer by working on badges, stars and awards over the summer!
The 2011-2012 competition has begun! Don't forget that Sixes with more cubs will earn more bones but its the average that counts so a small Six with active cubs could easily jump ahead!
