Scouting @ Home still allowed for advancement?


Recommended Posts

Can Cub Scout families still opt to do advancement requirements at home, all the way through Arrow of Light? Got a family wanting to not attend meetings but still have their scout complete Arrow of Light. Not sure how this is even possible for the patrol-based requirements and the troop visit requirements, but someone wants to do it anyway.

For lion through bear, any responsible adult can sign off on requirements, so at that level the youth can do scouting at home. The Covid FAQ has been updated to remove the ability of parents to sign off on requirements at home for Webelos dens, the Webelos den leader is still responsible for doing that, though they can agree to delegate that to the parents.

Looking at the requirements, there are a few at for the AOL rank that specify only with your den, not with your den or family. The Webelos rank though does have the den or family wording. The only other hangup might be the "be active in your den" tenure requirement, but by the GTA, active basically means registered, unless you explicitly have other rules. I'd ask them how they want to handle those specifics and what they want to do once they transition to a troop, where attendance is somewhat more mandatory.
