    Advancement Reminders

    As I mentioned in our last episode and in our May 2020 Pack Meeting, Scouts can now start working on their next rank as of June 1. That means Scouts in Den 6 who were working on their Lion Rank earlier this year can now start working toward their Tiger rank. Den 1, our Tigers, can now start working on their Wolf. Den 2 can work on their Bear. Den 3 their Webelos and Den 4 their Arrow of Light. All of our Dens have been advanced in Scoutbook, so you will now see your Scout’s progress toward their next rank. Be sure to look for your Scout’s DEN NUMBER instead of Rank in Scoutbook.

    That’s it for the June 2020 Pack update and this episode of the Cubmaster Minute. Tune in next week when we answer the question “What do those knots on some leaders’ shirts mean?” See you then!

If your Scout hasn’t finished the requirements of the Rank they were working on earlier this year, they have till July 31 to complete these requirements. Contact your Den Leader or I if you aren’t sure if your Scout has earned their Rank, if you need help figuring out what they need to complete, or you need to mark specific requirements as completed in Scoutbook. You can find a video explaining how to mark requirements as Completed below:
