On November 9, 2023, BSA announced the 2024-2025 Cub Scout Program Updates.
The four areas of improvement are the Bobcat badge, Cub Scout Adventures, Webelos, and Cub Scout Awards. Bobcat will no longer be a badge that is earned once when a Cub Scout joins. It will become a required Adventure for each rank and earned each year.
Updated program advancement requirements, program update rollout timing, and more information can be found on Scouting.org.
