Examples of Activity Badge pins:

Webelos CompassRIGHT POCKET: Hung on button. Shows progress in earning Activity Badges. Metal pin compass points are added for every 4 Activity Badges earned. These are placed into the three triangles next to W, E, and S in whichever order the wearer wishes.

Recommended: Place on red vest. 

World Crest PatchLEFT POCKET: Centered above pocket, leaving room for service star pins and/or knots. Indicates that the Scout is part of the World Scouting Movement. This is the only patch that is universally worn by Scouts in all nations 

Service Star PinLEFT POCKET: Pinned above, centered above any knots worn. Shows number of years in Scouting. Background color indicates which branch of BSA service.

Note: This is confusing for some. Only ONE pin of a given color should be worn. A Cub Scout would only have a single Service Star pin at any given time showing how many years he has been in Scouts. When he goes to Boy Scouts, he may keep his Service Star with a yellow background and add his Boy Scout Service Star pin next to it green background. Adults may wear the Adult Leader pin as well as pins for years they were in Cub Scouting and/or Boy Scouting as a youth.

Displays completion of the religious requirements for Cub Scouts. Rank PatchesLEFT POCKET: Centered, in a diamond shape with Bobcat on top, Wolf on wearer s right, Bear on left, Tiger on bottom.
