- Challenge Badges: Positioned on the right breast, challenge badges are awarded for completing tasks that require determination and skill.

How to Earn Cub Scout Badges:
Earning badges involves participating in structured activities, learning new skills, and completing set challenges. Each badge has specific criteria that scouts must meet, which are designed to be age-appropriate and engaging. This process not only helps scouts gain new skills but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and confidence.
Badge Application Options:
- Iron-On Badges: These badges are perfect for a quick and easy application. Simply place the badge on your uniform and apply heat with an iron to secure it. They are ideal for those who prefer not to sew and want a neat finish.
- Sew-On Badges: For a more traditional and permanent application, sew-on badges are the way to go. They are securely stitched onto the uniform, ensuring they withstand the rigors of scouting activities.
- Adhesive Badges: For a flexible option, consider using Badge Magic Fabric Adhesive. This allows for temporary placement or easy removal of badges without leaving residue. Badge Magic provides a strong hold, making it an excellent choice for those who like to change their badges frequently.
