Scouting can happen anywhere, and a lot can happen in your own home! At times when families are together for extended periods, conducting Scouting activities is a great option for parents to discover new ways to connect with and learn with their kids.
Follow along here and on our social media channels using the #Scoutingathome #SVMBC hashtags to get and share ideas for Scouting in a virtual and home environment.
Before starting any online activity, be sure to review the Cyber Chip requirements with your Scout and observe youth protection and online safety guidelines at all times.
Here you will find a resource hub for parents and leaders to help support Scouting at home, with stay-at-home educational activities for any Scout rank, tips for continuing to work on advancements and kid-friendly content that connects Scouting with their daily lives. We will continue to add new content and resources to this hub regularly.
Our goal is to make it easier to deliver the Scouting program by making plans more accessible to leaders and those who can help leaders like our parents.
Looking for at home adventure with minimal screen time? Then the adventure workbook is for you!
The Adventure Workbook program is designed to be self paced, hands-on, at home programs for your Cub Scout. Each adventure contains activities and tips and tricks to help your Cub Scout complete their rank requirements.
Adventures will be released every few weeks and sent by email and posted on the adventure box page. To see the current available adventures, visit the link below.
We want to make it as easy as possible for your family to continue the fun of Scouting.
We know times are difficult and we want to help make it easy to be a Scout by giving your family options that provide you and your Scout what you are looking for in a Cub Scout program.
Sign-up for virtual programs, or focus on screen free time with hands-on, outside activities, or a sign-up for a mixture of both!
Visit Scouts at Home!
Every Wednesday and Friday at 8 AM we post videos on our facebook of fun activities to do at home from Cub Camp Directors. Check out the back catalog including “Armpit Fudge” and tune in each Wednesday and Friday to our Facebook.
We hosted 10 sessions of fun and educational digital den meetings! Themes include Cyber Chip, Magic, Music, and More!

The pinewood derby is often the highlight event of the year for the Cubs in your pack. As with most things, we know that your pack’s program plans have probably changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but given a little planning and creativity, the event your Cubs look forward to all year can still happen!
To help you plan your event, we have created some guidance to help you plan a safe event, whether it is 100% virtual or a hybrid. To get started on planning your derby, please download your how to guide below.

Some Scouts may have already found homes but some Webelos may be still looking. Check out our document for some tips to making this transition still a memorable one during this special time for all Webelos.
During the pandemic, Merit Badge Counselors across the councils will be hosting virtual merit badge classes. These merit badges are hand selected so that Scouts can complete them at home. All merit badges will be done virtually through a web conference service.
More will continue to be added so check back often. For more popular or required merit badges, multiple sessions may be provided.
To see which merit badges are currently offered and scheduled, please visit the council calendar.
