New Cub Scout Preview Adventures
The Protect Yourself Rules adventure and the Yo-Yo adventure have been added to the Cub Scout program. Learn all the details in this post.
Cub Scouting is all about adventure! To earn their rank badge, Arrows of Light complete five “adventures,” which are collections of themed, multidisciplinary activities. They also complete safety exercises. The Arrow of Light rank requirements include topics such as camping, citizenship, and Scout skills.
1. Be active in your Webelos den for at least six months since completing the fourth grade or for at least six months since becoming 10 years old. 2. Complete each of the following Arrow of Light required adventures with your den or family:
a. Building a Better World
b. Outdoor Adventurer
c. Duty to God in Action
d. Scouting Adventure
3. Complete one Webelos/Arrow of Light elective adventure of your den or family’s choosing. 4. With your parent or adult partner, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide, and watch the Protect Yourself Rules video for your grade.
Your Cub Scout must complete all four of these adventures to earn his Arrow of Light badge.
