"Cub Scouts across the country are being asked to hand in some of their badges after the Boy Scouts of America announced today that more than a million of the Chinese-made items contain potentially hazardous levels of lead paint.

"No illness related to the product has been reported to us," said Gregg Shields, the national spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America. "We're just trying to be prepared and keep everyone safe."

The square "totem" badges, distributed by Georgia company Kahoot Products Inc., are painted blue and yellow and picture a wolf below the slogan "Progress Toward Ranks." Cub Scouts -- 7- and 8-year-old boys -- earn them by completing a number of tasks, including memorizing the Cub Scouts' motto, sign, handshake, and salute, and mastering an elective such as caring for a pet, growing a plant indoors, or making a stencil pattern, Shields said."
