Adena District has created a series of videos for the Cub Scout required adventures. These videos are intended to help Cub Scouts, parents, and Cub Scout leaders in understanding and completing the required advancement items for each Cub Scout rank program. While a handful are still in development, we want to share these with you so your Cub Scout may still earn their rank during this program year.
In some videos the presenters cover the material in such detail that the scout should be able learn what he or she needs to know. A parent or leader could then ask the scout to explain the material covered and what that means to the scout to receive credit for that requirement. Other videos help explain what the scout will need to do, such as take a hike or visit a fire station or police department. Once these activities have been completed, then the scout can be credited for these requirements. Everyone needs to remember that advancement is intended to include the participation of the scout. Often what the scouts may learn about themselves during the journey to completing the requirements is worth more than the requirement itself.
In a number of the videos, we have incorporated segments created by other councils. We found it unnecessary to “re-invent the wheel” and appreciate the work and time these councils contributed to making the den meeting resources available to us.
Presenters in these videos include Alvin Watts and Bridget Pauley, both program specialists for the Buckskin Council, BSA, and Carl Sullivan, District Executive.
These videos address required adventures for the Cub Scout ranks. Elective adventures have been covered in part by the video segments created by other councils. You may find some videos related to these elective adventures at the link below.
