Den Adventures
Cub Scouts earn adventures that are specific to their grade and rank. A number of adventures must be completed to earn the badge of rank for each grade level. Adventures may be earned in any order. Completion of adventures is how the aims of character, citizenship, leadership, and personal fitness are developed. We are lucky to have some volunteers for each rank who already filmed and recorded some den adventures. Click the den adventure that corresponds with your Scout’s grade and have him or her earn their first badge right away.
