msnowman Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 your Webelos II's who have earned all 20 activity badges? I know some councils have a "Super Webelos" badge, or something similar. Our council apparently does not. So, as a Pack, do you do anything special to mark the occasion? Or does it just pass by with a "These boys have now earned all 20 of their activity pins"? We are a small pack (10 boys total, 8 after our 2 Web II's graduate next month. I was just wondering what other Packs did, if anything.

fotoscout Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 We don't do anything special beyond recognizing them for the achievment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouterPaul Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I've heard of one of our local packs that award a "Heavy Shoulder or Heavy Metal" award for boys who earn all the badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleInKY Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 We have a couple of boys completing all 20 this year. First time in as long as anyone remembers. We're planning on getting the Super Webelos patch for them. I've heard of other packs putting together special awards that include all the pins arranged some way. The cost seems prohibitive to me. I estimated their award to be approximately $50 per boy. That's too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleWB Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Our pack gives these boys the new Scout Handbook and Fieldbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkie Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Our pack awards the boys the Super Achiever patch you're referring to. The background is the same as the Webelos Neckerchief. Two years ago, we had a scout complete EVERYTHING in the book. For that, we purchased a Boy Scout Handbook and presented it to him at Crossover.

andrewcanoe Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 The pack my son graduated from presented all of the 20 pin Webelos 2's a plaque made with their own pins on it. The whole thing cost the pack between $5-$10 a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocubdad Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 The Super Achiever patch is a national award. If your local Scout Shop doesn't carry it they should be able to order it for you or you can order it direct from national supply at the 800 number. This year our pack has a 20-pinner for the first time in several years and we are presenting him with the SA patch. We give all our WIIs a Scout handbook as a graduation gift. In addition, the Webelos Is make shadow boxes (similar to the ones in the Scout catalog) and present them to the WIIs. We have less than $5.00 in the boxes (the guy who supplies all my mirrors and shower doors gives us the glass) and they count towards the WI's craftsman badge. They make a really nice gift.

KA6BSA Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Thanks for the info and the link on the SA patch. My son just got all 20 pins this month and his Blue & Gold dinner is coming up... so I will look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
