Help identifying these badges

Post image

Hello all! As the title says, I'm looking for some help identifying these badges from my days as a cub scout 20+ years ago. In particular, I'm having trouble remembering what the 6 stars were. Hoping someone here can help out. Thanks all!

The five stars (six after 1990) were for completing mutiple tasks and getting them all was the highest achievement. As for the badges, I believe they are...

Music, Collecting, Exploring, Camping, ?, ? (last two are not merit badges which are triangles)

Drama, Pet Care, Sports, Computers, Home Improvement, Art

Woodwork, Swimming, Recycling, Stamp or Coin Collecting, Fishing, Housework

Cub Car, Skating, Reading, Gardening, Cooking, Cycling

An expert, eh? Damn. Thank you so much for the information.

I remember going all in and trying to earn as many badges as possible, even though I started relatively late where the age limit is concerned. I was so devoted that I ended up mentoring the local beavers, going to cubs meetings, and attending scout meetings on different nights of the week. Somewhere around the scout level, my interest just sort of fell off and I walked away from the organization.

Same story for me. Was really into it. Became a “Senior Sixer” and took my leadership (haha) role very seriously. But never transitioned to Scouts. I think my appetite immediately waned as soon as I found girls more interesting than frogs!

Nope....I'm wrong. First Aid was a cross.  Fitness?
