Still, I'm not sure...do you know? I mean, is that all that is required to be a Webelo?

I have no idea, I'm so ignorant! I just took this over from Steve not knowing diddly about it!

And as far as the committee business goes, I was just trying to be helpful, didn't know they'd stuck me on a committee! Any time the lady needed help, if I could, I'd volunteer.

I don't like to clash...I really don't, despite my box-fan reputation...

What, exactly, is a Webelo? It sounds like some sort of high-tech robot toy, to me... is it just the next rank or group or what?

I'd have to go back and look. But it's similar in progression. There are things he can do and earn as a Bear that will help him move on to Webelo.

Webelos is fun cause the boys get to do some fun stuff for their pins (which they get instead of badges, like Boy Scouts). It is more work, but it is mostly stuff that can be done at home, especially since you're homeschooling! A lot of it can be blended into Matthew's studies and field trips. There will be some things that Steve would probably be more comfortable doing, like the woodworking etc. At this age, the men tend to get more involved in specific things needed for the pins. SSQ taught the boys about tool safety, and for their Woodworking Pin, guided them in building a tool box and I designed a Snowman Measuring Stick for them to put in their yards. They cut it out and painted it. We have ours in the front yard right now! I'll have to get a picture of it, cause it's really cute!

I was a Den Leader for Joseph from Wolf all the way thru Webelos and now I'm on the Boy Scout Troop Committee and am the Charter Organization Representative for the troop. Our Parish has the Charter.

Joseph has been making noises about not wanting to continue because he just doesn't like most of the boys in his patrol. They're big into the camping and sports, and he's just NOT. But on the other hand, he'd like to go on for an Eagle, so I think he'll stay to get that work done. Our #1 son is an Eagle, but #2 son wasn't intersted in Scouts AT ALL.
