Brag Vest Segment Patches

Pack 21 proudly displays patches earned by cub scouts on brag vests. While they are not required uniform apparel, many of the boys take great pride in the recognition that the brag vest brings. Our Pack issues each scout a center circle patch for Pack 21. From there, scouts can earn large patches for specific events or segment patches for pack events. The segment patches are purchased by the pack and determined by the Awards Chair.

Click on the rank award below to be taken to an external link on the USScouts.org page. Each rank icon will take you to the requirements for that particular rank award.

Please note: The USScouts.org page is NOT the official BSA page (Scouting.org). If there is a discrepancy between the USScouts.org page and your Cub Scout Handbook, the handbook is correct.

Sports and Academics Program

Is your son looking for more actvities that he can do to earn recognition through scouting? This website has details about the 40 different academic and sports programs that scouts can use to earn belt loops and pins. The belt loop requirements are easier, and the pins go more in depth, but it gives the scouts an opportunity to try out some of their hidden talents and interests.
