I have not read the entire thread, but our district traditionally held merit badge weekend at the end of March (that changed last year), and we crossed over Webelos in early-mid March so that they could attend. Webelos are now allowed to attend the Feb. MBW if they have committed to a troop and go with that troop. Our troop does not ramp back the campouts for the new guys. The first one we do after crossover has been a sporting clays campout; the older boys arrive early to do the shooting, and the new scouts come later in the afternoon for the remainder of the activities.
