 Webelos to Scout Transition

Is there life after Webelos? YOU BETCHA!!! Boy Scout troops are eagerly awaiting new members who have come up through the ranks.

Webelos years are not just a program, but years dedicated to getting our boys ready to join Boy Scouts. During those years, boys are introduced to Scout troops – often more than one – and join them for various activities. A look at the requirements for the Arrow of Light further develops the idea of getting ready.

If you have Webelos getting ready to cross the bridge, or are a Scout Troop looking for Webelos to join you, be sure to look to Chris Smith as your resource person. Chris is our new Webelos to Scout Transition Coordinator. She has lots of ideas and information to share. See him at Roundtable or contact him at 586-285-1410.

This fellowship award, named after the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, is a national recognition for those who contribute $1,000 or more in cash or securities to the local council endowment fund. Each donor is recognized with a certificate, distinctive lapel pin/charm and an embroidered square knot.

Information and applications are available from Steve Linne @ 313-410-5457

Additional information can be found on the Council web site.
