		In conjunction with the introduction of Family Scouting for Cub 
		Scouts (with separate Dens for Boys and Girls), new editions of the Cub 
		Scout Handbooks were issued in September, 2018. The new editions also incorporated 
		the advancement changes which were published on-line in November, 2016, 
		then released in print form as an addendum to each Handbook. Although some of the elective adventures were retired, and some 
		of the other requirements for each of the Cub Scout Rank badges were revised 
		effective June 1, 2022, there were no changes to the requirements for the 
		required adventures shown on this page..   The "Council Fire" Adventure was renamed 
		the "Council Fire (Duty to Country)" Adventure.
