Arrow of Light - to - Scouts Transition
The key factor to a strong Arrow of Light to Scouts BSA transition is the ongoing working relationship of the leaders of a Cub Scout pack, the Arrow of Light den leader, and the adult leaders of the Scouts BSA troop. Ideally, a chartered organization would have a pack and a troop with leaders who work together to help prepare Arrow of Light Scouts into a Scouts BSA troop the same way schools move students from elementary school to middle school.
