Cub Bones


Bones

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 will win a reward!
