		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.

			- Cast Iron Chef
