Achievements
Both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts can earn various achievements by studying astronomy.
Cub Scouts
The Astronomy Belt Loop and Astronomy Pin are a part of the Academics Program available to the Cub Scouts. Involvement in the program is not required for the Cub Scouts to advance in rank. However, the program does offer many areas of interest, from Art to Wildlife Conservation.
Boy Scouts
The Astronomy Merit Badge is just one of the many awards available for the Boy Scouts (there are currently 128 badges). This badge is only one of the Natural Science badges, which range from Archaeology to the study of Weather.
