The time has come that Webelos will begin visiting all our troops. Personally, our troop is a big fan of having them stop by any time so they can see what we’re about. We always recommend they do just that when they come in for a planned visit.
I’m curious to know what others do for these events? Do you have a set meeting that you do each time a group visits or do you make sure the recruiting season is filled with Cub Scout friendly activities. During our PLC, we recommended the latter to the scouts.
For instance, tonight, we have at least 12 young scouts visiting us who will get to watch, and participate if they’d like, as the scouts take out, inspect, and put up tents for our upcoming November campout. That will be the gathering activity, followed by the opening, a flag ceremony, merit badge work, and the closing. While this is going on, the parents will have a chance to visit with some of our leaders to go over how our troop operates. The parents will also get an idea of the preparation for a campout as the scouts sign up for that trip.
It is sure to be fun and we look forward to meeting the potential new additions to Troop 483.
