Cub Program Update Overviews are Here!
Hey Cub Scout Leaders! Here’s some of the information you’ve been waiting for!
These 5 documents will give you everything we know so far about the new updates coming on June 1.
1.”Opening Session” discusses recent polls that were conducted of parents and Den Leaders, gives some recent (2017 and forward) history of the program, and talks about how that information was used to guide the process of revamping the program to what is being enacted beginning June 1. . https://www.winnebagobsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/1.-CS-Conference-Opening-Session-Prog-Update-Overview.pdf
2. “CS Updates” gives a general overview of the program updates from Lion through Arrow of Light, and talks about some of the new tools that will be introduced. https://www.winnebagobsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2.-CS-Updates-3.12.24.pdf
3. “Arrow of Light to Scouts BSA Transition” focuses specifically on… the transition from AOL to Scout. https://www.winnebagobsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/3.-CS-Program-Updates-AOL-to-Scout-Transition.pdf

5. “Handbooks & Leader Resources” is kind of self-explanatory. It’s a closer look at the new Youth Handbooks that will be available soon in the Winnebago Scout Shop, and discussion of new resources that will be available to leaders at every level of the Pack. https://www.winnebagobsa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/5.-CS-Program-Updates-Handbooks-Leader-Resources.pdf
This is all the information we have at present. As we receive more information, we’ll pass it on to you.
Remember, you can also view discussion and explanations about the Program Updates in archived #CubChatLives on Facebook and YouTube. #CubChatLive is an excellent resource for many aspects of Cub Scouting, not just these Program Updates. Go check it out!
from #CubChatLive, April 12: The Handbooks are printed and in transit. Please be patient, our Scout Shop will let us know when they are in and available for purchase.
