Cub Scout Rank Electives

TIGERS

Tigers - Tiger: Safe and Smart
In this adventure, Tigers will learn that a safe child is one who is aware of his or her surroundings and knows how to respond to danger.

Tigers - Tiger Theater 
Children love to pretend. They start at a young age by imitating what is around them. By the time they reach school age, they are ready for the next step: creating their own adventures to share. Theater provides an avenue to learn about public presentations and builds confidence in public speaking. Encouraging Tigers to perform helps them to become strong speakers and leaders, both in Scouting and in their daily lives.

Tigers - Sky is the Limit
This adventure will help Tigers learn about the mysterious night sky. Tigers will see a star show, and learn about constellations in this STEM oriented elective.

Tigers - Stories in Shapes (5/26 - 1PM EST)
This adventure will engage the Tigers’ imaginations and creativity as they work on some simple art projects that do not require traditional art skills.

Tigers - Curiosity, Intrigue, and Magical Mysteries
This adventure helps Tigers explore how things work. Tigers and their adult partners will learn about cracking codes, solving mysteries, as well as discover how science helps us solve problems and understand why things work in certain ways.

WOLVES

Wolves - Code of the Wolf

Coins are more than just money. In this adventure, Wolves will learn how to spot the various markings on a coin and identify the meanings. Through games and experiments, they will learn how to determine the value of a coin.

Wolves – Collections and Hobbies 
Everywhere we look, we see collections. A collection of plants is a garden; a collection of cows is a herd. And any group of objects that are similar and special to you counts as a collection, too. That collection tells others what you find interesting, and as you expand the collection, you gain new skills and understanding.

Wolves - Finding Your Way (5/29 - 2PM EST)
Learning to read and use a map and a compass is a valuable skill. In this adventure, Scouts will receive an introduction to maps, symbols, and the cardinal directions of north, south, east, and west. They will also learn the basic functions of a compass.

BEARS

Bears - Robotics (6/3 - 2PM EST)
Advances in science and technology have created a world of possibilities. Robots of many shapes and sizes can now perform tasks traditionally done by humans – from sensing the speed of a vehicle to sorting items based on color. In this elective adventure, Bear Scouts will learn how different types of robots are used and then create their own simple robotic figures.

Bears – Marble Madness

Bear - Roaring Laughter (5/29 - 1PM EST)
Laughing provides many health benefits. It also enhances teamwork and improves alertness, creativity, and memory. In this adventure, Bear Scouts will share laughter with others, strengthening their bond with family members and the den.

In this adventure, Bear Scouts will get a little messy but gain a lot of knowledge! Science is an everyday wonder that Scouts can learn more about by simply using ordinary household supplies.
