Cub Scout Adventures were designed to be as dynamic and relevant to today’s youth and families as possible by focusing on the following program objectives– the aims of Scouting and two strong Scouting methods: character development, participatory citizenship, personal fitness, outdoor skills and awareness. Once a Cub Scout has completed the six core adventures including one duty to God adventure, and one of his or his den’s choosing he will have earned his badge of rank. In addition to the adventures required for rank advancement, there are additional elective adventures that members of the den may earn.
All new Scouts must achieve the Rank of Bobcat first no matter where they enter along the Cub Scouting Trail. For achievement of this Rank the Scout must learns the seven basic tenets of Cub Scouting: the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Cub Scout sign, the Cub Scout handshake, the Cub Scout motto, the Cub Scout salute. In addition the Scout and his Parent must read the Parent Guide in the front of their handbook.
