Elective Adventures for All Ranks
Of the 72 new elective Adventures, there are several that are available for all ranks.
Several topics that are known to be activities that Cub Scout-age youth, both boys and girls, like to do or would like to do and were only available in one rank are now available for all Cub Scouts as elective Adventures.
Fishing, cycling, swimming, and camping always rank high on the list that Cub Scout-age youth want to do and often these are activities that we promote as part of the Cub Scout program. With the program, update will be new adventures for these activities for all ranks making it easier for multi-rank den leaders and packs to plan activities centered around Cub Scout Adventures. A pack can now plan a bike rodeo and every Cub Scout will have an elective Adventure they can earn.
Now one of the most iconic Cub Scout activities, the Pinewood Derby, becomes an elective Adventure named Race Time! This elective Adventure can be completed by building and participating in either a Pinewood Derby or Raingutter Regatta.
The World Conservation Award was a partnership with the World Organization of the Scouting Movement and recently they retired the World Conservation Award program and launched Earth Tribe which has a focus area on conservation named Champions for Nature. In partnership with the World Organization of the Scouting Movement, the new Champions for Nature elective Adventures are available for all ranks.
