Webelos College. Oct 20, 8-2:30 pm. First United Methodist Church. $10 youth, $5 adults. Contact troop456lincoln@gmail.com, 402-217-4472.
Webelos to Scout transition presentation by Mitchell, Phillip, and Trev (see slides posted below). Critical moment to retain youth in scouting. Use "when you join Scouts BSA", not "if" in order to put people in the correct mindset.
Here are links to the new national Order of the Arrow crossover and Arrow of Light ceremony scripts that will be used starting Jan 1, 2019. Note, the "breaking arrow" feature is no longer part of the ceremony.
Be sure to renew your Webelos II youth so that they can earn the Arrow of Light award. That is a Cub Scout only award, i.e. they have to be registered as Cub Scouts to earn it. And then it will be easy for them to transfer membership to their Troop once they transition.
Youth are encouraged to visit multiple Troops so they can find a good fit in terms of meeting nights, style of the Troop, etc.
Scoutbook will be free starting Jan, 2019.
