Other awards and achievements are signified by beads
attached to the arrow at the end of the colored thread segment of the year earned. Although the colors are representative of
the award, parents of future graduating scouts may want to change the colors to
whatever is most meaningful to them. If
other awards were earned than what is listed, choose an appropriate color bead
and/or replace that award with what was generally earned. Use the grid for each Cub Scout year to
map out the colors of numbers of awards earned in each category for that
year. Group the beads according to the
sections outlined in heavy lines and in the order listed.
