I taught a class about cub scouts and field trips today at the annual University of Scouting in the Utah National Parks Council. Some class participants asked for the Class Handout in digital format, so here it is.
Locally we are seeing a trend towards family packs that meet at the same time and place for den meetings as well as pack meetings. While this works well to streamline family time requirements, it makes it a little harder to plan a den outing.
Hopefully this handout will be useful in planning field trips that can accommodate requirements for several dens. It should also give a quick overview of all the obvious outings recommended for adventures in all the dens.
Don't forget to get your activity consent forms signed, and bring a copy of each person's health form when you have activities away from your regular den meeting location!
Put the OUT in scouting, and get your pack out to see some fun things.
What Is Akela's Council? Crossroads of the West Council has planned this exciting 3 1/2 day Cub Scout Leader Training for those who have completed the Leader Basic Training. This fast-paced and inspiring training covers den doodles, den yells, relationships, Cub Scout forms, resources, New Adventure Program, skits, puppets, charter renewal, BSA policies, insignia, Webelos Outdoor Experience, Cub Scouts with disabilities and much more. Any Cub Scout Leader from any council is invited to attend.

Rolls for Cub Scout Den and Pack Meetings ~ Den Leader Records
Den Leader’s
Records
- It is so important to have something you can always look back on to verify records. This is a fast and simple way to have a permanent record. If I mark a roll, I can go back at any point to update the rest of my records.
- Do not rely on the books the boys carry as your record of what they have earned. You need to keep a current record for each boy as he completes each requirement. A lot of times the books are not accurate. It takes too much time for me to sign each boys book each time we pass off something, and there is not a place to record other awards or Faith in God. You need to have a good system.
- As boys come to den meeting, take a roll
- Write down what achievements were accomplished during the meeting
- Record on each boys record sheet what was accomplished. I have a section in my binder for each boy that includes a chart for Bear Requirements, one for Belt Loops and pins, one for Faith in God, and one that I write on telling which month they earned patches and other scout awards.
- Once a month, a newsletter is sent home with information on what is going on in cub scouts this past month, in future months, and goals we have passed off by week so parents can mark it off in the cub’s binder. If the cubs missed a week, the parents know what to do at home to catch the cub up so he can earn awards with the other cubs at the next pack meeting.

Cub Scout Award & Patch Pocket Certificate to be given out at Pack Meeting to recognize any completed award
We have a lot of Pocket Certificates for the new Cub Scout adventures the boys can pass off, but there are many awards the boys can receive that are not adventures. This pocket Certificate is for all those other awards that can be earned, and can also be used for the adventures. This certificate can be used for Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos.
There are spaces on the card to enter the Scout's name, award earned, den, pack number, date award was given or earned, Den Leader and Cubmaster signatures. Use this to recognize the Cub Scouts during your monthly pack meeting.
This prints 8 pocket certificates, per page. These cards work well when the boys are saving their cards in the baseball card plastic holders because they are upright. This way they are facing the right direction as boys look through their card collection.

The new Cub Scout program contains a series of “adventures” which Cub Scouts (individually and as part of their den) will experience while working on their badge of rank. Once a Cub Scout has completed the six core adventures—including one on “Duty to God” and one of his den’s choosing—he will have earned his badge of rank.
