District Boy Scout troops will set up Scouting demonstrations in the park so that Webelos and boy of Scouting age can get a firsthand look at what's ahead for them in Boy Scouting when they join a troop.

This section of the site is designed to aid parents, leaders, and scouts in learning more about the world of Webelos. The goal is to ensure that all Webelos

1.     Earn the Webelos badge in their 4th grade year;

2.     Earn the Arrow of Light by January of their 5th grade year; and

3.     Crossover to a Boy Scout Troop no later than March of the 5th grade year.

The Trail of Tears District Membership Committee is responsible for designing and implementing a plan for the smooth transition to Boy Scouting with no time lost between the Webelos graduation and the joining of a Boy Scout troop.

It should be the goal of the Cubmaster and Webelos den leaders to graduate every Webelos Scout into a Boy Scout troop. The key to accomplishing this is to begin promoting Boy Scouting when Cub Scouts are still in their Tiger, Wolf, and Bear dens, and to sell the sizzle of the great outdoors. Scouting should be viewed as an ongoing adventure, and the progression should be as normal as moving from elementary school to middle school.

The committee has appointed Rhonda Tenpenny is serve as our Webelos-To-Scout Coordinator. Rhonda will be happy to advise families, packs, and troops on all transition matters. 

Please visit this area of the web site often, as we plan to continually add more to help you with the move to the next step on the Scouting trail!
