The changes shown below are changes from the text in the addendum.

at least one elective Adventure
of your den's or family's choosing (for a total of at least six adventures).
(See the list that follows the Arrow of Light requirements.) - 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.
