I like the idea of him wearing his sash for BoR. So he shall, unless someone tells him not to. Thanks for all of the replies!

I know my scout is supposed to wear the Class A uniform. Does he also wear his sash?

Has anyone heard of these? They are not the merit badges but more like the belt loop program from the Cub Scouts. Apparently my son is working on his First Aid skill award and he needs a first aid kit.

where does the first one go? Can he wear the temp boy scout patches on the back of the merit badge sash?

Just to be sure - can my son start earning merit badges now? I know it is not a requirement until the upper ranks. Shouldn't he start with the Eagle-required ones?

1. Is there a Quality district pin or patch that is worn on the uniform? I know there is a quality unit patch.

2. If I get my son another uniform shirt so he can have one long-sleeved and one short-sleeved, how can I get a duplicate rank emblem? I can't just pick it up from the shop.

This site is awesome. He has info on everything Cub Scouting and even a link for uniform and patch placement. Refer to this site as well as the Uniform Inspection sheet.

Someone should definitely tell her that the way she is wearing the shirt is improper. Wouldn't someone correct a Scout who had his shirt on that way? On the Uniform inspection sheet for Female Leaders, the picture shows all 3 women with shirts buttoned up (except of course the very top one). Female Cub Scout leaders can wear either the yellow or tan shirt. Female Boy Scout leaders must wear the tan shirt. Again, this info is taken directly from the uniform inspection sheet.

I was a Webelos Den Leader (my son is in Boy Scouting now, YAY!). I wore the tan shirt and khaki pants, with the WDL scarf, neckerchief, and hat. I'm not exactly a petite woman by any means and needless to say, the uniform did not make me feel comfortable. However, to set a good example, I endured. All Scouting women know that the uniform is not made for us.

Lisabob hit the nail on the head - I felt like a tent wearing the man's shirt. But I wore it proudly - and buttoned up. She should wear the uniform properly or not at all.

I have a 2006 Webelos Woodsmoke Patch. Willing to trade for another 2006 Webelos Woodsmoke or Webeloo-ree patch. Email me for a picture.

My son is Webelos II this year. I went to Walmart and got wolf print fleece (his dens is "Running Wolves") and "Cub Scout" solid blue fleece. I fringed the edges and tacked his patches on the solid blue fleece. Send me a PM with your email if you would like pictures.

Thank you all for your replies. By the time I would have to renew, I will no longer be a den leader; my kids are going to the Troop. I do not need YP for trained badge but I do need it for my Webelos DL award. I'll be all set for B&G.

Was it 2 yrs if you took it online but 3 yrs if you actually took a class? I can't find anything on it now. I'm hoping to get my trained badge before my boys cross over to the Troop in February.

I have youth protection and I will be signing up for Cub Leader Essentials at my Council Powwow. I'll report back to my cubmaster after Powwow. Thanks all!

What all do I need to get my Trained badge? I've already taken Fast Start for Cub Leaders and Webelos Leader specific. Do I need OWL?

The pillow is a great idea as well!

Scoutnut, when I said camping, I was thinking of just for the boy's personal use like for sleeping at night but you're right, I wouldn't want other trampling on it. Making a curtain would be another wonderful display idea.

No they do not. Our boys either use Mr/Ms Adult or Akela Adult.

I heard this idea at Pow Wow 2005: Make a fleece blanket. I took it a step further and got 2 pieces of fleece. One is the cub scout plain blue and the other is a print of the den name. My boys chose "Running Wolves" so I got this wonderful pattern at Walmart. I'm making the blanket via the no-sew method which you can find online. I'm putting the patches on the plain blue side via fabric glue. You can get letters for personalization (recommended) from Walmart too. When you are done, you have a functional blanket that your BOY Scout can use on camping trips and still show off his past achievements. I should be finished the blanket by the end of the week. I'll be glad to email pictures.

It's my understand (and I'm sure I've read it in official material) that Webelos scouts are DENS not PATROLS. I'm the Webelos DEN leader of DEN 6 and the name of the den is "Running Wolves". When they graduate to the the Troop, the name of the den will become the name of the patrol.

I don't require my boys to wear full uniform at every den meeting but it is required at the pack meeting. They have a choice for the den meeting: either wear the full uniform (Class A) or any cub scout t-shirt and jeans (Class B). Our pack has a T-shirt contest every year and the winner gets his picture reproduced on a T-shirt that becomes the pack's class B uniform.

I try to have my Webelos I den meet 2x a month, 1 pack meeting and an outing if that month's activity allows for it. My cubmaster leaves it up to the den leaders to set the schedule.

My daughter is a Cadette in MD Troop 967. She would rather be a Juliette though. I wish I had started her earlier.

I'm co-webmaster to our pack's website,

Always a work in progress. Newly added, the results of our Pinewood Derby site.

My son won 2nd place in the Bear division for the Pinewood Derby. His car also won "Most Scout Spirit". Tonight was his uniform inspection. He got the highest possible score!

Anyone? I would be willing to pay a fair price if noone wants to trade.

where can one find those plastic badge holders? I got my son 2 shirts and I don't think that I will be able to get doubles of all his patches.
