1 Changes to the Cub Scout Program Cascade Pacific Council – Sunset Trail District

Why Make a Change? Just when you started to learn about beads, badges, belt loops, and pins! Goal is to make a “Dynamic and Relevant” Program Changes are part of a thorough program review at the national level. Want to make a program that is appealing, exciting, and culturally relevant for today’s youth and families 2

Organizing Principle Want all ranks to have similar goals Rank advancement through Adventures For each rank, complete seven den-based adventures Immediate recognition after each adventure Elective adventures exist for every rank 3 Tiger-Bear Adventure Loops (belt) Webelos/AOL Adventure Pins Same ‘colors’ for pins Diamonds, triangles, ovals

High Level Change Summary Family focus Ranks or approach Den/pack meeting structure Outdoor program Delivery model Fun as the basis of learning 4 Oath & Law Tiger Cub becomes Tiger with Arrow of Light will no longer require earning Webelos Activities – more active, more aligned with Aims/Mission Advancement – simplified Academics & Sports program discontinued Current immediate/elective recognition devices replaced One Den Leader guide per rank NOT ChangingIS Changing

Let’s look at the Requirement changes in more detail This link is a medium-level document showing the new requirements Bobcat – subtle changes, mostly Oath and Law Tiger/Wolf/Bear f/Appended%20Requirements.pdf 5

Character Connections Character Connection with its alignment to the Cub Scout Core Values will be phased out. The Core Values will be replaced with the 12 points of the Scout Law –Each handbook will have reflections on the 12 points –The Den Leader guides will have call-outs for the 12 points. Use during pack meetings, Scoutmaster minute, activities and reflections 6
