Cub Scouts earn adventures that are specific to their grade and rank. A number of adventures must be completed to earn the badge of rank for each grade level. Adventures may be earned in any order. Completion of adventures is how the aims of character, citizenship, leadership, and personal fitness are developed.
Each time we recite the Scout Oath, we promise to do our Duty to God. But how? Scouts BSA provides each rank with their own Duty to God adventure, with the exception of Lions, tailored specifically for their age and intended to dovetail perfectly with your family's beliefs and traditions.
Because faith is so personal, and each family shows reverence in different ways, we encourage Pack 521 families to complete their rank-required Duty to God adventure at home during the holiday season. Scouts who would like to share their family's reverence and spiritual practices are invited to do so at any time, either in the Den or Pack setting.
A Scout is trustworthy! As these adventures are completed at home, all we ask is that you reach out to your den leadership team to confirm. A simple email or message on Facebook will suffice! We update ScoutBook and award your Scout with their adventure loop as quickly as possible.
Here's a look at the Duty to God adventures as of December, 2019.
