WELCOME TO THE NEW CUB ADVENTURE

WELCOME TO THE NEW CUB ADVENTURE
4/21/2017 WELCOME TO THE NEW CUB ADVENTURE So everyone welcome to Pack 1. Welcome to the new Cub Scout Adventures, are we all ready to have fun?

4/21/2017 The Changes & Why The end result of the task forces discussion was to boil the program down so it really coveredwas a focus on a program with Character Development  Participatory citizenship  Personal fitness  Outdoor skills and awareness  Leadership and life skills

The Changes & Why Rank Advancement Thru Adventures
4/21/2017 The Changes & Why Rank Advancement Thru Adventures For each rank, complete a series of den-based adventures, including a family-based “Duty to God” adventure, to earn rank Adventures = interdisciplinary, theme-based experiences, 3 den meetings Immediate recognition after each adventure Elective adventures available; same recognition approach As you can seen the rank requirements have been simplified. Each rank year the boys will work on series of Adventures and a faith adventure. However don’t think this is dumbing down the program. Each adventure takes about three meetings to complete. Once a adventure is done and signed off by the parent, the boy will receive an adventure loop/pin Once all the requirements are addressed they will receive their Rank badge in time for the blue and gold After they earn the rank they can finish off the year working on elective adventures, and receive loops for those.

The Changes & Why To Review What’s Changing: Oath & Law
4/21/2017 The Changes & Why To Review What’s Changing: Oath & Law Tiger Cub becomes Tiger with new image Arrow of Light will no longer require earning Webelos Citizenship programs are now more participatory Duty to God is now more family based and does not include the religious emblems program. Activities – more active, more aligned with Aims/Mission Advancement – simplified While the details change, the core of Scouting remains the same, helping boys develop their commitment to live by the ideals of the Scout Oath and Law. If there had been no changes in Cub Scouting from the time it was established, it would look very different than it does today: - There would be no adult leaders. Dens would be led by Boy Scout den chiefs. - No boy would enter Cub Scouting until age 9. - The uniform would feature knickers. - The Cub Scout Promise would include a commitment to “be square.” Change is inevitable We need to anticipate and reflect needed changes in program delivery. We can all agree that our youth today are much different than the youth of Cub Scouting when it began in the U.S. in 1930. Not all families have the luxury of a full-time, stay-at-home parent to prepare den meeting materials. Today’s boy deserves an engaging and relevant program developed to meet his needs and interests. Elements that were not engaging or relevant simply needed to be changed. The changes reflect an ongoing commitment to “Do Our Best” for Cub Scouting. So in review here are the changes: One Oath and Law Adoption of the Scout Oath and Law for use in the Cub Scout program. Retirement of the Cub Scout Promise. Revision of the Core Values of Cub Scouting to align exactly with the 12 points of the Scout Law. Retirement of the Law of the Pack, while maintaining the concept of “Akela” as leader. Maintaining the current Cub Scout motto, sign, salute, and handshake. Tigers Tigers are no longer Tiger Cubs. They are part of the cub scout program, Tigers still had the optional feel to the program compared to wolves and bears. The program revisions will make the year similar to the wolves and bears but all adventures are age appropriate. Arrow of Light AOL no longer requires earning the Webelos Rank. Allow boys coming in at 5th grade to earn the arrow of light and not feel pressured or feel left behind their friends. Takes pressure off the Webelos Leader on having to repeat things that the boys did the first year. Of Webelos Activities Some of the Cub Scout Achievement and Elective activities were either school like, or kind of “dry” Some were not relevant anymore based on program changes Some activities no longer aligned with Scouting’s mission The new program will be more inline with the pillar of the Scouting Principles More Activity outdoors MORE FUN! Advancement Some leaders found it hard to deal with end of the year book sign offs to determine what would be an achievement vs what would be an elective Some achievements were very costly and did not really provide a direct line to a Scouting Principle The Belt Loop Program The belt loop program started out with good intentions Was a light version of what boys would see in Boy Scouts with Merit Badges Down side Town Sports made the sport side an easy sign off Certain belt loops were reused year over year where others were not even touched Some belt loops required Leaders or the families to invest in supplies that might never be used again. The fun content of many of the loops and pins has been captured in several of the adventures. Immediate Recognition Devices The “immediate recognition” plastic pocket patch with yellow and red beads is being retired. Immediate Recognition devices were eay to loose. Loosing beads Once a program was over that device was not seen again The adventures will have new immediate recognition symbols: Adventure belt loops, one for each adventure, to be awarded when the requirements have been completed. The Webelos recognition for adventure requirement completion will be in the form of Adventure pins, one for each adventure. Den Leader Guides Many leaders felt the current guides were too bare bones You bought all the levels even if you only dealt with one rank for the life of your Scouting Career One den leader guide will be published for each rank. Webelos and Arrow of Light will both be included in the guide for Webelos den leaders.

Bobcat Changes ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ☐ Scout Oath ☐ Scout Law
4/21/2017 Bobcat Changes ☐ Scout Oath ☐ Scout Law ☐ What Webelos means ☐ Cub Scout Sign ☐ Cub Scout Handshake ☐ Cub Scout Motto ☐ Cub Scout Salute ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ So lets Earn our Bobcat Lets Recite to Scout Oath Lets Recite the Scout Law Tell me what Webelos Means = “We”’ll “Be” “Lo”yal “S”couts Show me the Scout Sign= This is still two fingers up like wolf ears Recite the Cub Scot Motto = Do Your Best Show me the Cub Scout Salute = The index and middle finger straight out and hold them up against you brow or if wearing a scout hat at the end of your hats bill. ✔

4/21/2017 Bobcat Changes Having to earn the Bobcat rank before a Scout can earn any other rank is the same. Bobcat requirements will remain the same except for the One Oath/One Law change. Knowing Webelos, the Cub Scout Sign, the Handshake, The Cub Scout Motto, and the Cub Scout Salute are staying the same. The How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide must me completed each year. This will now include the Scout needing to earn the Cyber Chip for that rank. So before we start any rank, we work on our Bobcat skills. This is needed to earn any rank in Cub Scouts. The majority of the requirements are staying the same. The big changes are The change to the Scout Oath and Law so the Cub Scout program is inline with the other BSA programs. Knowing Webelos, the Cub Scout Sign, the Handshake, The Cub Scout Motto, and the Cub Scout Salute are staying the same. So we still use the Akela symbol, and the 2 finger handshake, and the rest of them. Now we do have an additional change to the Parents Guide. Because more and more of the Scouting program will sometimes deal with going online. We want to help families and the Scouts understand what's safe, and what could cause problems or be a bad idea for the little guys. So as part of the parents guide they need to work on the BSA Cyber chip program. Don’t Worry we will go in to that in a minute.

Bobcat Changes The Cyber Chip
4/21/2017 Bobcat Changes The Cyber Chip The How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide must me completed each year. This will now include the Scout needing to earn the Cyber Chip for that rank. Now for the new part Parents will always need to read and sign the Why do the Scouts need to earn the Cyber Chip More and more programs and resources scouts will use are online.

The Tiger Year What’s Staying the Same:
4/21/2017 The Tiger Year What’s Staying the Same: Tigers is still for boys who have completed Kindergarten or are at most age 7. Scouts will still need to have an Adult Partner present at all meetings. CANNOT use knives, saws, or axes. CANNOT cook outdoors. So now that we have earned our Bobcat Patch we can start on our Tiger Adventure. Most of the way the programs for each rank are delivered is the same. The structure of the meeting, the leadership structure in the Pack are all the same. For the Tiger year, many things are still the same. Tigers is for Scouts who finished kindergarten and are at most 7 years old. The Scouts still need an adult partner at the meetings to work with them on projects and help them earn their rank. Tigers still can’t earn the whittling chip and should not use knives, saws or axes. This is why we have the Adult Partners. Lastly tigers still can not cook on their own outside. They can toast dogs and marshmallows, but really outdoor cooking and home cooking should still be with their Adult Partner.

The Tiger Year What’s Changing:
4/21/2017 The Tiger Year What’s Changing: Tiger Cubs will instead be called “Tigers,” effective May 2015. Immediate Recognition plaques and beads are gone.

Rationale for Adventure

4/21/2017 The Wolf Year Paws on the Path Rationale for Adventure This adventure will encourage the development of hiking skills in Scouts. So lets take one of the Wolf Adventures, Paws on the Path. The boys did do outdoor activities in the Tiger year, but here we really talk about hiking with the wolves to get them use to being on the trail.

The Wolf Year SNAPSHOT OF ADVENTURE
4/21/2017 The Wolf Year SNAPSHOT OF ADVENTURE exploring far-away mountains. traveling through deep, dark jungles. Crossing hot, dry deserts. the adventurers that mastered these journeys got their start on a short hike, just like the one you and your Wolf den are about to take! in this adventure, you will use your scouting outdoor skills and learn more about the natural world around you. hike on, Wolf! The goal is to get them unplugged, out on a trail, and have fun, and start building that outdoorsman spirit.

The Wolf Year Paws on the Path
4/21/2017 The Wolf Year Paws on the Path show you are prepared to hike safely by putting together the Cub scout six essentials to take along on your hike. Tell what the buddy system is and why we always use it in Cub scouts. So here are the requirements of our adventure. We start with the 6 essentials the boys should always have on a hike First aid kit Flashlight Water bottle Trail food Sun screen And a whistle We also want to get them use to using the buddy system.

4/21/2017 The Wolf Year Paws on the Path Describe what you should do if you get separated from your group while hiking. A Wolf should never get separated from the rest of the group while hiking. But sometimes it happens. If you do find yourself away from the rest of your den while on a hike in the woods, here is what you need to do: Now lets look in some detail on talking to the boys about what to do when they get lost.

The Wolf Year S – T – O – P! S = stay calm. Stay where you are. Sit down, take a drink of water, and eat a little trail food. Stay where you can be seen. Don’t hide! You are not in trouble! T = think. Think about how you can help your leaders or others find you. Stay where you are, and be sure people can see you. Make yourself an easy target to find. Remember, people will come to look for you. Stay put, be seen, and help them find you! O = Observe. Listen for the rest of your group, or people looking for you. Blow your whistle three times in a row, then listen. Three of any kind of signal means you need help, and everyone will try to help you. P = Plan. Stay calm, stay put! Plan how to stay warm and dry until help arrives. Don’t worry, you will be found.

4/21/2017 The Wolf Year Paws on the Path Choose the appropriate clothing to wear on your hike based on the expected weather. Before hiking, recite the outdoor Code and the leave no Trace principles for Kids with your leader. after hiking, discuss how you showed respect for wildlife. Go on a 1-mile hike with your den or family. Watch and record two interesting things that you’ve never seen before. The adventure continues with discussions of leave no trace, appropriate outdoor clothing and a 1 mile hike.

4/21/2017 The Wolf Year Paws on the Path Name two birds, two insects, and two animals that live in your area. explain how you identified them. Draw a map of an area near where you live using common map symbols. show which direction is north on your map. And we finish off with getting the boys familiar with wildlife and introducing them to maps.

Even though they are more involved you will get there. Now some ask what do we do after the Blue and Gold? Keep in mind you have 12 more elective loops for each year. So there is plenty for the Wolves to do before school lets out.

4/21/2017 We are now heading in to third grade and we are heading in to Bear Country. Check out Evan he’s sporting that familiar Bear Blue

The Bear Year What’s Staying the Same:

The Bear Year What’s Changing:
4/21/2017 The Bear Year What’s Changing: Bear rank requirements: 6 core adventures & 1 elective adventure. Instant Recognition Beads are gone, and replaced with Adventure Loops. Advancement is much easier. More outdoor fun and building toward what will be coming in Boy Scouts. The things that are different is no more figuring out what counts as requirements versus what gets the boys the most arrow points. Yup the instant recognition beads are gone and so are those arrow head patches that a lot of boys never would add to their uniform. But don’t worry the Bear year still has great things for the boys to do. They will learn to handle scouting equipment, and get use to being more involved with the den and pack, as well as try new things outdoors.

4/21/2017 The Bear Year Complete each of the following Bear required adventures with your den or family: Bear Claws Bear Necessities Fellowship and Duty to God Fur, Feathers, and Ferns Grin and Bear It Paws for Action Complete one Bear elective adventure of your den or family’s choosing.

Activities will cover essential personal safety and first-aid skills. So lets look at one of the Webelos Adventures. We will look at First Responder. The boys will work on first aid and emergency preparedness skills.

The Webelos Program SNAPSHOT OF ADVENTURE First Responder
4/21/2017 The Webelos Program First Responder SNAPSHOT OF ADVENTURE In this adventure, you will put the Scout motto, “Be Prepared,” into action by learning about first aid. You’ll also build your own first-aid kit and make emergency plans for your home or den meeting location. And you’ll learn how professional first responders help keep you safe. By the time you finish this adventure, you should be ready to act if you are first on the scene when an emergency happens. We will introduce them to how to handle different emergency scenarios, what different first aid supplies can be used for, and interact with different agencies that are first responders.

The Webelos Program First Responder
