The Web 2 only have 3 scouts but they have finished the Webelos badge and Arrow of Light, so they are just doing activity badges that the boys want while waiting for the cross over. My Webelos just started so they need to do all the basic first year stuff. Im not really sure why they didn't want to combine as we would have swapped to their meeting time, but whatever. The bears have about 8 scouts. There were only 2 last year so we really had a great recruiting this year for that age, however we had those 2 in our den as we had a split bear/ wolf den. Those 2 scouts made it really diff

I have a den of 4 Webelos I. I spoke to the Webelos II leader and he does not want to combine dens. So that option is out. It seems I rarely have all 4 boys at a meeting due to sports and other things. I need some new or different ideas for fun, active games. The boys have about had it with the various relay/ running type games. They do like them but want some more variety. We have a nice inside and outside area to play in. Just most things I see are for larger groups. Anything for 2 to 4 boys is good. A lot of times I have just 2 boys and thats really hard to come up with new and ex

The Webelos Handbook my son has is the 2006 printing. The pack buys and gives them the next handbook at the end of the school year in June. I think its the most recent but not 100% sure. On page 63 it says Earn 5 more activity badges in addition to the 3 you have already earned for the Webelos Badge. The it lists Fitness (already earned for the Webelos Badge) Citizen (already earned for the Webelos Badge) Readyman Outdoorman at least one from the Mental Skills group at least one from the Technology group one more of your choice Thats 7 spaces, so if they choose to ea

I'm a little confused and I can not locate the answer in my leader's book. For Webelos Rank the scouts need Fitness, Citizen and one other Activity Badge from one of the 3 remaining groups. So far so good. But it does not expressly say that it can not be Outdoorsman or Readyman. Yet in the AOL part it says to do Outdoorsman and Readyman plus 3 more for a total of 5 towards AOL, plus the 3 for Webelos which is 8. So can they not use Outdoorsman or Readyman for their Webelos Rank? I have one father saying since the boys will earn Outdoorsman his scout should be able to use it to

3 of the 5 do. We have a unique school situtation here. One recently switched to a different school. The 3 that do are in one classroom. We don't have a PE class or teacher, but the teachers are responsible for giving them PE. The one class does pull ups on occassion not a regular basis, runs, plays soccer and other sports, run the track, they really get a workout for 4th graders. The other kid, his teachers idea of PE is more like a recess with access to some sports equipment. They are on the same campus but one is traditional school and one is charter school. The one that just switch

OK there are a bunch of exercises listed for part 5. From my son's book it reads "Do as many as you can of the following and record your results. Show improvement in all of the activities after 30 days." Then it lists a through e with different things like sit ups, push ups, pull ups, etc. Does this mean they must do all 5 exercises or can they skip one? We don't have access to a pull up bar. And that is the one that the parents are complaining about. But the boys really want to do this Activity Badge. Thanks

We always have our Pack Meeting as a potluck meal and rotate which dens bring entree, side, dessert. Since some of our dens are smaller we put them together for this purpose on the list. Each den gets a month to do the flags and grace. The gathering activity is done by the Cubmaster. After the opening, we eat and then the Cubmaster gives information and the boys get to do an activity. Anything from a rain gutter race with little boats built during opening, to building a rain gutter sundae, to kick ball. We really dont do a true closing, boys just drift away during or after the game/ acti

Our CM asked for a volunteer, we only had 3 Tigers signed up, this was just before school started. One is military and simply not in town enough, although his father seems like he will make an excellent stand in for the meetings we need him. That left our current W2 leader that is leaving in Jan and myself, the Bear Den Leader. I told the CM that for Tigers the den leader was more a point of contact, awards & dues tracker and someone to keep everyone knowing what was going on & to organize. This I could handle. Since then we are up to 7 scouts, one father that has stepped to assis
