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 requirements shown below are those in that
document.
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 in the addendum booklets is similar to, but
does not exactly match the wording in the original proposal shown below.
NOTE: The "Camper" Adventure has been renamed the "Outdoorsman" Adventure.
- 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. (Being active means having good attendance, paying your den dues, and working on den projects.)
- Complete each of the required Adventures with your den or family:
- Complete at least one elective Adventure of your den or family's choosing.
- 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, and earn the Cyber Chip award for your age.*
*If your family does not have Internet access at home AND you do not have ready Internet access at school or another public place or via a mobile device, the Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian.
