outOutdoor Ethics Action Award for Cub Scouts Has Been Retired 

With the June 2015 launch of the new Cub Scout program fundamentally changed Cub Scout advancement requirements, the knowledge, skills, and attributes acquired through the Cub Scout Outdoor Ethics in Action Award have been incorporated into and made an integral part of the new Cub Scout Adventures.

To avoid redundancy, the Cub Scout Outdoor Ethics in Action Award has been retired and will no longer be available for Cub Scouts to earn.
