Questions and Answers from Scouters

Every situation is different. Whether you are new to Scouting or you have been involved for a while, sometimes it is helpful to get input from other Scouters. We are here to help each other.

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.

Cub Scout Helps and Documents

Cub Scouts is a program offered by the Boy Scouts of America for boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Cub Scouts participate in a variety of adventures.

Welcome New Den Leaders

Around this time of year there are a lot of new Den Leaders wondering to themselves “Exactly what did I just volunteer for?” Whatever your story, I want to welcome you to the world of Scouting.

Other Cub Scout Awards Helps and Documents

In addition to ranks and adventures, Cub Scouts can earn other awards, including Cub Scout Nova Awards and Supernova Awards, Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award, Cub Scout World Conservation Award, Emergency Preparedness BSA Award, Recruiter Strip, and Morse Code Interpreter Strip.

Cyber Chip Requirements for Grades 1-3

Tiger Cub Scouts, Wolf Cub Scouts, and Bear Cub Scouts are all required to earn their Cyber Chip. The Cyber Chip program helps children understand how to be safe while online. All Cyber Chips will expire annually.
