The Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program is very family involved and easy
to put into a homeschooling program. You will want to purchase the book
(#34299) from your local scout office. It isn't all the expensive and the
amount of information you can get from it is worth the price. May I also
suggest you read the book in its entirety and become very familiar with the
different belt loops and pin requirements.
Many packs (I'm talking LDS packs) do not implement this program in their
dens/packs but that shouldn't prohibit you from doing them on your own or
volunteering to start the program in your den or pack. You don't have to
have the den/pack doing these to work or receive the awards. Go for it and
have fun!
Please read the introduction in the book. I do not include it here, so
read it and become familiar with how the program works. And while you are
at it you might as well read all the way to page 26. Also note that I have
just briefly described the requirements for each belt loop and/or pin.
Please see the book for more detailed information. Also read the back page
of each belt loop or pin. They have included a bunch of information for
the cub to complete the requirements. There are books, web pages and
sometimes even the rules! Super resource.
UPDATE--The programs have changed a bit and I haven't had time to
review and update this site. So please see this
site
for the changes.

Our kids belong to the local elementary school's after school chess club.
A good part of this was taken care of while they were in the club. We also
played games at home. This might be a fun game to pull out for a Family
Home Evening. How about making up a ___________ Family Tournament?
Some web sites that you might find helpful US
Chess Center; US Chess Federation;
The Chess Corner All of these
sites have great links. A word of caution: Please be careful letting
your young sons (and daughters) play chess online with just any body.
Please be very, very careful.

This isn't a hard one, but does take some planning. For some of the
interview you will need to help the cub set up appointments. I will tell
you to first look in your ward. Our ward has a naturalized citizen, mayor
and many lawyers. If we were to look at our stake...the possibilities are
endless and they are usually very open to having a young man (or woman) come
visit for an interview. The interviewing skills are worthy to acquire,
both the giving and being in one.

Another not very hard achievement to do, just need to sit down and plan a few
extra things and the belt loop and pin are the cubs! If you are cleaver
you can weave most of the above into other achievements that the cub needs.
Searching the internet on a subject....how about the report for chess or finding
your family history on the web (Heritage), how about one of the sports reports
that the cub might need to do? The possibilities are endless, but just
need to be thought out and done.

Again a note of caution about being on the web. Please do not take it
lightly and think..."Oh, he SEEMS like a nice guy. Talking via email will
be safe." We are very particular about who, where and what our kids have
access to on the web. As much as I would like our family to be anonymous
out there, we aren't and can never undo what was and is out there. Both of
us are known on the web, and as an extension so our our children. Please
don't let your child(ren) end up on the evening news or on the front page or
your local paper. Protect them and teach themselves to protect themselves
and their family. It isn't too young to start telling them this,
especially while they think everyone is a good guy. As my four year old
said, "Bad guys are only in movies." (I'll step down off my soapbox now.)
