The National Cub Scouting Character Connections Program was introduced in 2002. The key elements of the program are 12 core values, several of which relate directly to points in the Scout Law. The character-building process is called Character Connections, which connects the values to the activities and advancement of Cub and Webelos Scouts.
The Cub Scouting Character Connections Program identifies 12 core values which are incorporated into the advancement requirements for the Tiger Cub Scout, Wolf Cub Scout, Bear Cub Scout, Webelos Scout, and Arrow of Light award, as well as the Webelos Activity Badges.
