Law Awareness Badge
Outcomes
Cubs acquire basic knowledge about the fundamental laws governing our daily interactions. They also develop knowledge and skills to help create and maintain a "crime-safe" local community.1
Requirements
- Talk to your six about the laws of the Wolf Cub Pack and what they mean. What rules should you have in your six so that everyone can enjoy Cubs more? What might happen if your pack or six did not have rules?
- Talk to one of your leaders about who makes the laws in our country and why these laws are important to us. Who is responsible for making sure our laws are followed? Who can you ask for help if you see a law being broken?

- (a) Crossing private property
