Cub Scout Program Planning

books Cub Scouts earn adventures that are specific to their grade and rank. A specific number of adventures must be completed to earn the badge of rank for each grade level. Adventures may be earned in any order. Completion of adventures is how the aims of character, citizenship, leadership, and personal fitness are developed.

Volunteers have identified 12 common themes among the adventures. Some of the adventures may appear in more than one category. The purpose of the resources below is to assist with multi-rank den meetings and pack-level programming (e.g., campouts, pack meetings).

Den leaders who have only a few youth in different ranks meeting at the same time may find themes and supplemental resources helpful. Den leaders should utilize BSA resources.

The Cub Scout program will be updated for the 2024-25 program year.

Safe Swim Defense is the BSA’s required training for all swimming activities. Adult leaders supervising a swimming activity must have completed the training within the previous two years. It can be found at my.scouting.org. Safe Swim Defense standards apply at backyard, hotel, apartment and public pools; at established waterfront swim areas such as beaches at state parks and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lakes; and at all temporary swimming areas such as a lake, river or ocean. Safe Swim Defense applies to non-swimming activities whenever participants enter water over knee deep or when submersion is likely; for example, when fording a stream, seining for bait or constructing a bridge as a pioneering project.
