We had a great and busy meeting last week. We will take a week off from scouts next week, so no meeting on 2/13. Please use the time to finish up your Bear requirements.
Please let me know if your scout completed any belt loops this month so I can request them for the Blue and Gold. Let me know no later than Monday.
Since we will now be in a transition to Webelos (which starts once school is out) I wanted to start to cover some basics the boys will need for next year.
For the 2/20 meeting we will cover some basic map reading skills. Please bring a compass, if you cannot get a compass by then we can share but they will need one for Webelos.
Webelos is a bridge to Boy Scouts where the scouts take responsibility for their advancements. Also Webelos will require more "go see it" type events and outdoor activities. As such I would like to set up a meeting for the adults of the scouts to provide a basic overview of the Webelos requirements and get feedback for some of the camp trips and weekend outings we will need to do at somepoint. In the winter we may have to do more weekend meetings as there may be fewer things we can do indoors at the church. I'll try and set up the adult meeting in March or April at the latest.
