The National Summertime Pack award has been reimagined into an elective Adventure named Summertime Fun. This new Adventure may be one of the most straightforward Adventures, it has one requirement: anytime during May through August, participate in three Cub Scout activities.

As the National Summertime Pack award was evaluated it was deemed a valuable method to promote summer activities such as Cub Scout Day Camp and Cub Scout Resident Camp. It was also determined that requiring a percentage of participation for the National Summertime Pack award was unfair to those who attended when the percentage of participation was not achieved.

The new Summertime Fun elective Adventure is available for Tiger through Arrow of Light. Lions do not begin Cub Scouting until they are attending Kindergarten in the fall, so there are no summertime activities for Lions.

Please note that with the recent update to the Cub Scout program, the Arrow of Light has become a separate program from Webelos. It is essential to keep in mind that any current 4th-grade Webelos should not start working on any Arrow of Light requirements. This is because the work done on current Arrow of Light requirements will not be counted for the updated Arrow of Light badge of rank requirements that will take effect on June 1, 2024. Instead, current 4th-grade Webelos should focus on earning elective Adventures.

Elective Adventures will no longer be shared between 4th-grade Webelos and 5th-grade Arrow of Light. Adventures will only be available to 4th-grade Webelos after June 1, 2024. It is recommended that current 4th grade Webelos focus on these elective Adventures: Aquanaut, Art Explosion, Aware and Care, Build It!, Earth Rocks!, and Modular Design.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is only 10 days away. Snoopy, who is the longest-running character balloon in the parade, will be joined by his best buddy Woodstock to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Beagle Scouts' first appearance in Charles M. Schulz's comic strip.

Units may want to share this information with their Scout families to take advantage of this exposure.
