CUB SCOUTS (K-5)
Scouting Advancement can still happen from home!
The Merits of Scouting @ Home
Across the nation, councils are finding ways to help keep our youth members engaged and Scouting. These out-of-the-box, in-home activities are centered around providing advancement-related content to help keep kids safe, engaged and to help them make the best of home time.

MSC Scouting at Home Patch Program for Cub Scouts!
Cub Scouts just need to complete 4 of the listed options in the Cub Scouts requirements.
Once a Scout has completed the requirements to earn the patch, an adult should send the completed MSC Scouting from Home Patch Program Tracker form
(a scanned copy or a photo is fine) to the District Executive, Robert Stewart at robert.stewart@scouting.org.
