This petition is respectfully submitted to the National Advancement Committee of the Boy Scouts of America to bring to their attention to a concern from the Membership.
WE, the Volunteers, Members, Families and Friends of the Cub Scouting Movement, as affirmed by our signatures on the opposing pages of this petition, direct the National Advancement Committee to Re-Instate / Continue Usage of the Belt Loop Advancement program for the betterment of all scouting.
It is the feeling of the Membership at large the elimination of the “Belt Loop Advancement Program” has NOT been made in the best interest of the Member-Volunteers of the Cub Scouting organization; specifically, but not limited to; Parents, Guardians, Leaders, former Leaders and the Cub Scouts themselves.
It is our hope the Personnel at the National level will understand the need for the Belt Loop program to not be removed from the advancement programs of the Cub Scouts as these Belt Loops allow and encourage the Cub Scouts to explore new hobbies and develop new skills.
In addition, the belt loops themselves allow an opportunity for the Cub Scouts to display their accomplishments and experiences, and is a direct source of Pride in the accomplishments.

The feedback from pack leaders is pouring in. Belt loops are clearly essential for keeping scouts engaged and proud of their skills.

As a Den Leader, I love being able to introduce my Scouts to the Academics and Sports Program (aka: Belt Loops). One is personal for me: "Disability Awareness." Living with MS, this Belt Loop provides the opportunity to discuss my disability first hand. As a parent, I love watching my son get excited when he receives a belt loop that he has earned. He asks if he can wear his belt every day. Please Re-instate this program!
Belt Loops have been a huge motivation and source of pride for my two boys (Life and Tiger). With their age difference, scouting is one of the few things they have in common. Please save the Belt Loops!
It would be sad to see a legacy lost, my son loves earning his belt loops!
The boys love looking forward to earning the belt loops, it would be sad to loose a legacy!
It aint broke.... don't fix it!!!

Discontinuing the belt loop program is a huge mistake!!

My son has enjoyed earning a variety of belt loops during his last four years in Cub Scouts... two more to go & he will have earned 30! Please do not discontinue this wonderful opportunity for our boys to set & achieve belt loop goals & proudly display them with their uniforms! Thanks! :-)
