Welcoming New Scouts from Webelos

Hi, folks -

With a bit of trepidation our area troops are finally starting to bring in
Arrow of Light recipients in the Spring of their 5th grade, rather than
waiting until the Summer or the following Fall. We've been reluctant to do
this before but we understand the importance of making the Webelos to Scout
transition go smoothly and keeping as many of these boys as possible in
Scouting.

Can any of you share some tips on how to integrate these new boys into the
troop program - even though they're still in elementary school and the
troop is in high gear to prepare for the Spring Camporee, summer high
adventure, end of the school year advancement, etc.?

Thanks.

....Doug Gentry
