Quote: "SMT376Richmond - That all would actually follow the Webelos advancement guidelines per the Webelos handbook which states tenure for AOL is 6 months after 10th Birthday or 6 months after completion of 4th grade. Stop penalizing boys that are a real go getters and work hard to complete 8 activity pins successfully and meet all the requirements in a year and a half. By dong they work they have proved they are ready for boy scouts. This is one reason so many stop and drop out. As a former Cubmaster I've seen this happen many times in the past 3 years. They are getting bored." unquote. an

As one who served as an ASM on the 1993 and 1997 Jamboree Troops for my council, I can tell you it will be expensive. Our council charged $1800.00 per boy for the 2001 trip. The troop flew from Dallas to Washington then bused to Fort A.P.Hill. The fee was strictly for the trip/Washignton D.C. tour/jamboree fees & equipment (which get turned over the council camp upon return). Uniforms, shakedown campouts, spending money and trading patches are all additional. But it is a great adventure for the boys. They will never forget it.
