Note: BSA originally published changes to Cub Scout advancement requirements in late November, 2016, in the form of an on-line document listing the original and proposed requirements. The requirements shown below are those in that document.
The revised requirements were later published in addendum booklets to be inserted in the Cub Scout Handbooks for each level until they can be revised and republished. The wording in the addendum booklets is similar to, but does not exactly match the wording in the original proposal shown below.

The "Grin and Bear It" Adventure has been changed to an Elective Adventure,
and has been replaced by the "Baloo the Builder" Adventure, which is now a Required Adventure.

The "Paws for Action" Adventure has been renamed the "Paws for Action (Duty to Country" Adventure.

1. Complete each of the six required Adventures with your den or family:
   • Bear Claws
   • Bear Necessities
   • Fellowship and Duty to God
   • Fur, Feathers, and Ferns
   • Baloo the Builder
   • Paws for Action (Duty to Country)
2. Complete at least one elective Adventure of your den or family's choosing.
3. With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, or adult partner, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide, and earn the Cyber Chip award for your age.*

*If your family does not have Internet access at home AND you do not have ready Internet access at school or another public place or via a mobile device, the Cyber Chip portion of this requirement may be waived by your parent or guardian.
