As the Cub Scout program year came to a close last May our cubmaster stepped down from his position. His youngest son has graduated out of the pack. That left the pack without a cubmaster. It also left the pack without an active pack committee.
Cayti sent in this question: Hey, I am a Webelos I leader this year (going through again with younger son), but this time, I have a kiddo in our group who is solely an auditory learner. Are there any videos or games geared towards helping these kids memorize/learn the Webelos requirements?
I happened to just be surfing the web last night, one of those days where you google your own name to see what comes up. I stumbled on this article from a local newspaper. Nothing amazing or earth-shattering but it was a fun little event. I've helped a couple years since as well. http://zoomfolsom.com/2012/04/21/cub-scout-pinewood-derby-championships/

Maybe when they asked for volunteers to step forward, everybody else took a step backward. Perhaps you were approached by the pack committee chair who lured you in, telling you "it's only an hour a week." Or you always wanted to be the big guy up front and you didn't see anyone else brave enough
In today's Cub Scouting, the ranks go Tiger, Wolf, Bear, & Webelos. Webelos is an 18-month (some say two year) program. Though when I was a scout my understand is that is was just one year (though my memory certainly isn't that good).
Boys and rockets make a great combination, so why not host a Rocket Academy recruiting event? Read all the details here!
Laurie sent in this question: Hi! I just became my 4th grade sons Webelos Den Leader..since nobody else stepped up. I printed out the Webelos Den Meeting Plans…There are 18 listed. Do I need to get all of these done between September and May?
The question came up at the committee meeting what training each leader should have (den leaders and committee) to be considered "trained" and be able to wear the little "trained" patch. There are 4 parts, all available at myscouting.org or the leader-specific class can be taken in person.
For Scouts of all ages are guided by the Outdoor Code and the principles of Leave No Trace when they participate in outdoor activities. Cub Scouts and their leaders can earn the Outdoor Ethics Awareness award to start learning about being responsible citizens while outdoors.
