Cub Scout activities are centered around earning badges that are specific to each school grade level. This badge represents a rank. All of the activities for each rank are in the Cub Scout handbooks.
Once a Scout has completed a requirement, please email your den leader with:
The Adventure AND Steps completed
Date completed
Sample of what the scout did (pictures, quick message, etc).
ALL Ranks must complete: With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet entitled How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide.
Earning the Cyber Chip is a requirement for Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos ranks. Cub Scouts complete the requirement by visiting www.netsmartz.org/scouting and completing the age-appropriate activities.
First graders, and anyone beyond that grade who is new to Cub Scouting, completes the Bobcat Badge prior to working on their grade-specific badge of rank. Kindergartners, who are Lions, do not work on the Bobcat Badge.
