Getting Started

The C.U.B.S. program is designed to be extremely easy to use and include anything and everything you might not have at home. Each adventure begins with a list of materials you should acquire from around your home and everything that will be included in your bag. Let's take a look at an example:

Here are a few pages from the Tigers Sky is the Limit elective.

Intro

The adventure is introduced and the supplies are listed.

Printables

Any helpful printables are included. The manual is consumable. If a printout is better in color or needs special paper it will be in the bag as well.

Other Information

Some adventure requirements do not lend themselves to being "bagged." We include relevant links to help these situations.

Need more help? Use the drop down menu or links above to see each adventure and see more detailed photographs of experiments and activities.

Completing an Adventure

Included with your manual and printouts, is a Certificate of Completion and a chart to help you track and share your scout's achievements.

You can give it to a den or pack leader. Likewise, you can enter the information directly into Scoutbook and your pack leadership can approve it remotely.
