Do you like the new and simpler requirements for each Cub Scout Adventure?

• Where you don't have to pick and choose which requirements to do?
• Cool!  Simple.  Easy.  Do all of 1 through 6.  No need to choose!

But what about the new National Resources for each Cub Scout Adventure?  Are they Simple and Easy?

• Where you must pick and choose which which activities to do!  So ... for each Requirement, you have to sort through 2 or 3 activity options.  
• You have to go somewhere else to find out how to do a Den Meeting!
• You have to assemble the activities you pick into the other parts of a Den Meeting!
• Is that Simple??  Is that Easy??  No.  We can do better.

To help den leaders and parents, we've assembled 126 Cub Scout Adventures into a Den Meeting Plan format with added videos and tips to make leading Cub Scouts easier.  Really.  Click here for more, or keep reading below.  Email webmaster@southfultonscouting.com if you need a reminder about the login.

In each plan, we select one way to complete the requirement -- sometimes from a National activity card or adapted from it, sometimes just from the Requirement itself -- and put it into an "Assembled" Den Meeting Plan with prompts for the Parts of a Den Meeting.  Namely, Preparation (plan + collect materials needed), Gathering (something for early arrivals to do), Opening (a ceremony to start), then Activities (an Activities Intro chat, then alternate energetic and learning activities + add fun), Closing + Recognition (ceremony), and After the Meeting (follow up).  These plans are also available on the Atlanta Area Council Cub Scout Advancement rank by rank pages under scoutingatl.org/CubScoutAdvance.
