Saturday,  June 9, 2012 - Webelos II
,  2 PM - 4 PM

Dear Webelos Parents,
 
I have been informed by Mr. Wilson that your Scout has been recommended for transfer to the Boy Scouts.  This is a great transition and we are excited about the influx of new Scouts into Boy Scout Troop 133.
 
This is a crucial time because this is one of those periods were Scouts may drop out.  Boy Scouts are different from the Cub Scout program and some Scouts and in many cases parents are not prepared for the transition.  Our goal is to successfully transfer all of our Webelos into the Boy Scouts and have them continue until they make Eagle Scouts.
 
My thanks goes to out to you for your trust, faith, and confidence in the Scouting program.  As the Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 133 my job is to answer any questions and to help make the transition go smooth.  Please let me know what concerns or questions you may have. 
 
One of the major differences is that we will begin to expect more from them and help them develop individually.  However, the Scoutmasters and the experienced Scouts are there to help.  We want them to continue in Scouting and we believe that Boy Scouts have many exciting activities they will enjoy.  
 
This Saturday will start with some transitioning work by working with the Boy Scouts.  Next Saturday we will have a cross over ceremony.  This is a ceremony where we celebrate their transfer from the Pack to the Troop.  Again, Welcome and let's prepare for the journey to continue.
 

 

Yours in Scouting,

 

J.R. Brockman
