Cub Adventure Boxes
Just in time, for Summer!
Pack Leaders:
Please Share With Your Den & Pack!
Pick-up:
After June 17
th
Each rank specific box is filled with nearly everything you need to complete five elective Cub Scout Adventures at home and kick-start your Scouts advancement to the next rank this summer.
Within each box you will find a copy of the Scout Oath and Law, and other assorted items which will help you to complete the adventure requirements at home as a family. Items may include craft kits, magic sets, and other small science equipment which makes shopping for supplies unnecessary. Each box also comes with activity specific written and video instructions so you can easily participate with your child.
Each Adventure Box is designed for one child and will be available for limited contact pickup at the Anthony Wayne Area Council Office after June 17th.
While these boxes are geared toward members of Cub Scouting, the activities involved are fun and available for all children!
Preorder yours today! All orders MUST be placed by June 4th!

Greetings Scouters & families!

The following guide provides program opportunities that will allow Scouts to still enjoy the great outdoors, earn advancement, and Deliver the Promise of Scouting! These guidelines and procedures are in place through August 2 but are subject to change at any time due to state & local guidelines. See you at camp!

Lincolnway Leaders,
We will be having a virtual roundtable on Wednesday, June 3 starting at 7 pm. After making some general announcements we will breakout into “rooms” just like we do face to face. It won’t be the normal format, but want to have a chance for the Roundtable commissioners
to talk with their groups. Information was shared with your unit leader and committee chair on how to sign up. If you didn’t get it, you can either pop onto our facebook page
As usual there will not be a July roundtable, with our first roundtable set to be in August. More details will come out in July (including possibly a different format).
Hope to see you Wednesday!!

Unit Leaders…
Please continue to encourage your Cub Scout families to work on rank requirements and electives at home. An extension of time has been granted to complete 2019-20 rank requirements to July 31, 2020, and parents may now sign off on Webelos and Arrow of Light requirements. Troop leaders should encourage scouts to work on merit badges and rank requirements that can be completed while at home. Meetings with Merit Badge Counselors can be conducted via ZOOM provided online Youth Protection Guidelines are followed. Contact Steve (
steven.higgins@scouting.org
) for a list of merit badges that can be completed at home.
Youth Protection Training…There couldn’t be a better time for Adult Leaders to complete online Youth Protection Training. Everyone who completed the new YPT training in 2018 is due to renew by Dec. 31, 2020. Avoid the Christmas Holiday Rush and do it NOW while time is readily available.
