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.

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.
