Journey to Excellence

For both Packs and Troops in Scouting's Journey to Excellence program, a Webelos-to-Scout transition plan is required. With a troop, the Pack should hold two joint activities, one of which is a parent orientation and camp promotion meeting.

Transition Tips for Webelos Den Leaders

  • Webelos Den Leaders should complete proper training
  • Webelos leaders should develop relationships with Scoutmasters of local Troops
  • Webelos Scouts should have the opportunity to try all Activity Badges
  • Webelos Scouts should transition as soon as possible after completing the Arrow of Light

Transition Tips for Cub Scout Packs

  • Packs should align camping equipment list with list of local Troops to minimize financial burdens on families
  • Packs should work with local Troops to provide Boy Scouts to help with events like campouts, recruitment nights, etc.
  • Packs should encourage den leaders to use a Den Chief

Transition Tips for Boy Scout Troops

  • Troops should include Cubmasters and Webelos Den Leaders in communications
  • Attend Roundtables to meet Cubmasters and exchange contact information
