Welcome to the Parents Page. This page is designed to be a resource for parents on:
Required adventures we ask you complete at home
Provide you with a how-to guide on submitting required and/or elective adventures in Scoutbook (BSA official tracking system for all training and advancement).
Additional opportunities to do more with your Scout through STEM, Religious emblems or other BSA Awards
We know everyone can't always make the Den/Pack meeting, and it's not always feasible for the Den Leader to re-due an adventure. We hope the resources on each Den page which provide family specific ideas on how to complete required adventures at home with your family. We promise it's not as hard as it looks, and many times Scouts can complete required elements sometimes its as simple as assisting with the planning and preparation of a healthy meal.
We encourage you to work with your Den leader to ensure your Scout stays on track to make rank by May 31 (end of the Scout year).

Required Adventures at each rank that must be completed at home:
We feel this adventure to ones Family, and showing of reverence is something that is best discussed at home to ensure that parents lead the discussion for their Scout. As such this requirement will not be completed during a Den/Pack meeting and must be completed at home. For the specific adventure requirements, check out our Den page.
Once you have completed one or multiple requirements please submit those items in Scout book for your Den leaders approval.
The Boy Scouts of America is committed to creating safe environments for Scouts and leaders. Child abuse is an uncomfortable topic but an important one for us to cover to ensure the safety and well-being of our Scouts. The Boy Scouts of America has partnered with subject-matter experts from the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center Foundation to present the “Protect Yourself Rules” that help children recognize, respond to, and report abuse.
This adventure requires Scouts to complete the items provided on BSAs site here and complete the exercises in the pamphlet entitled How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide
Once you have completed one or multiple requirements please submit those items in Scout book for your Den leaders approval.
