Each rank has specific requirements to be completed over the course of the school year. These requirements are listed in the rank specific Cub Scout handbook. When a scout completes these requirements, they will be awarded their rank patch. This award is typically done at the May Pack meeting.
While each den seeks to complete these requirements in the den meetings, parents can also teach, review and approve these requirements independently. The parent will then "sign-off" the appropriate requirement and inform the den leader of this. These are great activities for school breaks and holidays, slow weekends and an alternative to screen time.
The scouts have the option to complete additional electives outlined in their book.
