Cub Corner December 2014

For those who don’t know, there are changes coming to the Cub Scout program. Beginning in June 2015, all cubs will begin using a new program designed to bring out the adventures in scouting. This month, I want to highlight the things that are staying the same. Let’s start with the familiar and then we can move from there.

First, we are keeping the same uniforms. Boys will still wear blue shirts, Webelos can still wear either blue or khaki, and leaders will wear khaki. Ladies, if you prefer the yellow shirt, you can still wear the yellow shirt. Pants, belts, hats, neckerchiefs, etc. will all still be around. I think we can all be grateful that we don’t need to go spend a bunch of money on a new uniform.

Second, we are keeping the same ranks. There will still be a Bobcat, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light rank. The requirements are changing, but we’ll get into that another time.

Third, cubs will still use the Cub Scout salute, the Cub Handshake, the Cub Scout Sign, and the Cub Scout Motto. We are still trying to “Do Your Best” in everything we do in Cubs.
Fourth, ages and den/pack structure will stay the same.
Lastly, the FUN will still be there.

See, the program isn’t completely different. We have our comfort zone. Next month, I’ll dive into some of the new things.
I plan to highlight parts of the changes each month in my Cub Corner. This is going to be a fun new adventure for all of us. Let’s get on board!
