Cub Scout Adventures Video Resources

I recently got an email about some new resources for Cub Scout leaders. So I wanted to share these with you in case you haven’t seen them yet. BSA has produced a number of videos to help leaders guide their Cub Scout dens to do requirements. These can be used to help with in-person den meetings or with virtual den meetings.
