WEBELOS

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.

In 2020, the Yo-Yo and Protect Yourself Rules preview adventures were introduced and the notes after requirement 5 were added, and in 2021 the Modular Design preview adventure was added..

In May, 2021, BSA announced that seven of the Webelos/Arrow of Light elective adventures will be retired on May 31, 2022.
