Upon graduation from Cub Scouting with hopefully the Arrow of Light rank, a Webelos scout has some questions he needs to ask himself about his future and future in scouting. Scouting is an ascending adventure. As the boy grows in age and maturity, the Boy Scouts of America has a program for him. It is age adapted and has worked well for decades. First is learning a new set of skills that starts as Webelos Scout and builds from there. Next comes a more out door events of increasing complexity - camping, hiking 10 up to 20 miles in a day, canoeing. The culmination is a series of high adventure camps for the older boys 15 years and older - hiking 50 to 120 miles in 10 days. Canoeing and camping, 7 to 10 days, up to 100 miles. Sailing down in the Florida Keys. Scuba diving at South Padre Island. The changes and challenges coming to you son will be so fast that you are not ready for them. He will be. Let the adventure begin.


 

1.     I am interested and involved in other activities like sports? band?
  Will this involvement cause a conflict with scouting?
