Introduction:
It’s not an event, it’s a process. It can be an end
— or a beginning.
First and foremost, this evening is about connecting Cub
Scout Packs with Boy Scout Troops. We’d like to see every Unit send at
least one representative.
|
Troops: Do you have a calendar and, in particular, any
special dates you’d like local Packs to set aside to come check
out what you’re doing? What are your unique traditions, the
things that set what you’re doing apart? How would you like to
see Webelos prepared to hit the ground running for first year
summer camp and effective progress toward Tenderfoot rank? How
can you help, with Den Chiefs, Scoutmaster conferences?
|
|
Packs: What’s the best way to approach this pivotal 20-month
Webelos schedule? How do you sequence work on achievements,
balance that with overnights, safety, and skill-building? When
should you plan to cross your boys into a Troop, and why is that
timing important for them? Be sure to bring current contact
information (name, eMail, telephone) for your Cubmaster, Webelos
I and Webelos II Den Leaders. |
Whether you’re an adult leader in a Unit with a seasoned procedure,
or literally facing the year with a blank piece of paper and looking
for ideas to get started, we’d like to help you.
