Cub Scout Handbooks, Sign-offs & Pinewood Derby

Your Cub Scout should now have their own handbook and a Pinewood Derby Car kit. If your scout has not been issued a handbook or derby car kit yet, please email Mr. Fisher at SM@Troop502.com

Advancement:
To advance, scouts do adventures for their rank. We will celebrate these achievements in an upcoming Pack Meeting. Adventures may require scouts to: listen, learn, visit, attend, plan, gather, collect, find, identify, participate, do, go, show, demonstrate, perform, tell, discuss, describe, share, write, record, list or compete other actions. Webelos and AOL Adventures may require a scout to explain, teach or recite from memory. For a Den Leader, parent, guardian, or other trusted adult to sign off and date any requirement as complete, a Cub Scout only has to exactly meet the requirement, no more, no less.

There are two requirements that can only be signed off by a parent or legal guardian 

  1. The brochure: How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parents’ Guide found in the front of the handbook or at this link and
  2. The Protect Yourself Rule videos associated with their grade level (Lion=K, Tiger=1st, Wolf=2nd, Bear=3rd, Webelos=4th, and AOL=5th), which can be found on The Advancement Trail website.

Please review with your Cub Scout and sign-off their handbook for these two requirements.

Parents can also watch this video and sign off their Cub Scout’s Bobcat Badge requirements, which we have been reviewing at every meeting.

In our fall Den Meetings and at our Camping Trip, we have been doing Adventures related to Camping and Being Outdoors; your Cub Scout should have completed one of the following adventures: Mountain Lion, Tigers in the Wild, Call of the Wild (Wolf), Bear Necessities, Webelos Walkabout or Outdoor Adventurer (AOLs).  Parents, please sign off everything your Cub Scout have successfully completed.

Pinewood Derby
Details about Pack 502’s Pinewood Derby are at pack502.org/pinewood-derby and this year’s event should be a lot of fun. Your Cub Scout should be thinking about design ideas. If you are a craftsman, you can help them cut, sand, and finish their car. If you need help and tools, there will be a car-cutting clinic coming up soon.

If you have any questions, please email Mr. Fisher at SM@Troop502.com
