Did You Know That There Is A New Boy Scout Uniform? Click here to get more information. Webelos to Scout Transition
Webelos to Scout transition is a year-round process. The summer months are a great time for getting to know the second year Webelos, their parents and den leaders. Invite Webelos to Boy Scout summer camp family night or visit them at Webelos Adventure Camp. Spend some time to introduce the Boy Scout program to Webelos leaders, parents and the pack’s leadership and offer to help with the pack’s “Back to School Night” in August/September.
Another important step is to share the troop calendar with the Webelos, invite them to a summer activity or service project, especially if you cannot arrange a visit at summer camp. Finally, identify which Boy Scouts may be interested in serving as Webelos den chiefs in the fall. The following steps will help you stay on track with Webelos to Scout transition: • Boy Scout troops should invite first year Webelos den(s) to visit the troop at Boy Scout summer camp • Webelos den leaders should invite a Boy Scout troop leader and Senior Patrol Leader to visit their den at Webelos Adventure Camp
• Begin to collect contact information on new second year Webelos (June 1 all Cub Scout dens advance officially, so first year Webelos advance to second year Webelos, Bears advance to first year Webelos, etc.) • After consulting with pack leaders, appoint den chiefs 2010 National Jamboree

The fact that youth and adult members of Scouting wear a uniform doesn't mean that we're all alike. We come from different ethnic and racial backgrounds. We have our own religious beliefs and political views. We are each individuals with our own family traditions and loyalties. So the uniform is not intended to hide our individuality. But it is a way we give each other strength and support. It is a bond that ties us together in spite of our differences. It is a way of making visible our commitment to a belief in God, loyalty to country, and to helping other people. The Scouting movement is built on positive values. As we wear the uniform, we are openly identifying ourselves with those values where everyone can see us. We stand together, not alone, in encouraging others to live by those same principles. Boys and adults alike should take pride in belonging to such a movement and wear the uniform as it is intended. Wear your uniform proudly!
