Note: BSA originally published changes to Cub Scout advancement requirements in late November, 2016, in the form of an on-line document listing the original and proposed requirements. The revised requirements were later published in addendum booklets to be inserted in the Cub Scout Handbooks for each level until they can be revised and republished. The wording shown below, which appears in the addendum booklets, is similar to, but does not exactly match the wording in the original proposal.
NOTE: The "Camper" Adventure has been renamed
the "Outdoorsman" Adventure.
The name will change again, to "Outdoor Adventurer" as part of the
implementation of family Scouting.
Rank advancement is awarded when each Scout has done the following:
- 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.
- Complete each of the four required Adventures, (Specific requirements
for these adventures can be found in this (the)
addendum.)
- Building a Better World
- Duty to God in Action
- Outdoorsman (formerly Camper) - Option A (including a campout) OR Option B (including an outdoor activity)
- Scouting Adventure
- In addition to the four required adventures listed above, complete at least one elective Adventure of your den's or family's choosing (for a total of at least five adventures).
- With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide.
- Earn the Cyber Chip award for your age. (The Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian if you do not have access to the internet.)
