What is the answer for archery requirement 1c?
That requirement tells you to describe local and state laws. There is no way that can be answered on a world-wide website, especially since you have not told us where you are.
I suggest you discuss where you can find that information with your counselor or a local sporting goods shop.
Do Boy Scout merit badges go in a certain order?
If you are referring to the order in which they should be placed on the merit badge sash, the answer, is no, there is no official order. Some scouts place all of the Eagle-required badges on the inside column, so they are closer to the heart. Others place them in the order in which they were earned. I don't believe there is any "correct" way to do it.
Where do you place the buffalo patch on Boy Scout shirt?
If it is the 2 inch round patrol emblem (i.e. if they are the buffalo patrol) then it goes on the shoulder just below and touching the American Flag.

When did pinewood derbies become popular in scouting?
Don Murphy, at the time Cub Master of Pack 280C in Manhattan Beach Ca, invented the pinewood derby as a way "to devise a wholesome, constructive activity that would foster a closer father-son relationship and promote craftsmanship and good sportsmanship through competition."
He coined the term pinewood derby and invented the kit featuring a carve-able soft pine block, some nails and some wheels in a brown paper bag. He convinced his employer, North American Aviation, to sponsor the event (they paid for the kits) and some fathers in his pack built the original two lane 31 foot track complete with an electric finish line to identify the winner.
The first derby was held in 1953 and became an almost instant success with it being copied by the Los Angeles County Dept. of Recreation later that year. The national organization featured "the derby" in the October 1954 issue of Boy's Life and requested that Murphy make "his materials" available for it.
The derbies have changed surprisingly little in the 60 years since inception and are still regarded as one of Cub Scouting's most popular and iconic events. It is estimated that over 43 million scouts have participated in pinewood derbies.
What are the duties of cub scout leader?
There are various positions within Cub Scouting, but I'll assume you mean Cubmaster, who serves as the leader of the Pack. The Cubmaster works along side the Commitee Chair to organize, plan, and execute all the functions of the Pack. This include Pack Meetings, campouts, day activities, etc. He (or she in many cases) also works with his Den Leaders, who are essentially his liutenents in the Pack. His other responsibilties include attending District Roundtable meetings, MCing Pack meetings, setting an example for the Scouts, and living the Cub Scout Law and Oath in his daily life. Hope this helps :).
What is the average time of a pinewood derby car?
That will vary depending on the track, the skill of the builders, and the rules used. Some packs allow outside wheels and axles etc and some "just what is in the box".
At my son's pack, using a fairly typical track and rules, the times are usually between 2 and 3 seconds.

Being morally straight means to live your life with honesty, to be clean in your speech and actions, and to be a person of strong character.

Where does the Whittling Chip badge go on the Webelos uniform?
Although the Whittling Chip, Totin' Chip and Firem'n Chit emblems are almost the right shape to wear on the pocket flap, they are not intended for uniform wear. They are to be attached to a blanket, backpack or other equipment.
The Insignia Guide does not include these emblems, but ScoutStuff [linked] does note "not for uniform wear."
The only emblems worn on the right pocket flap are the Outdoors Activity Award for Cub Scouts, the Order of the Arrow lodge emblem for Boy Scouts and Venturers and the Corps of Discovery emblem for Venturers if the CoD is authorized by the local council.
Other emblems not intended for uniform wear include the 50 Miler Award and the Historic Trails Award.
As in Boy Scouts or Girl scouts? Yes but their activities differ from scouts in the US.
