Can kickball be used as a team sport belt loop for Sportsman badge in Webelos?
Thanks

@Laurie - The Webelos Sportsman activity badge requirements specifically list which sports are acceptable and Kickball is not in the list.

Scouter Paul & Laurie,
We use ScoutTrack to track advancement in our Pack, and Kickball IS listed as an option for the Sportsman Activity badge & one our den will use. Perhaps it has been updated?
Thanks,
Tracy
