- This publication provides den meeting plans developed around a Scouting program year presumed to begin in early September and continue through May - For Webelos Scouts and their leaders, this year and the next are filled with excitement, growth, and challenge. Your boys will be moving from Cub Scouts toward the goal of becoming a Boy Scout. Along that trail they will be picking up new skills and further developing their independence and character. - As a leader you will be developing, too. You will find that the Webelos (and den meeting plans) require more long-term planning on your part. While the den meeting plans will take you and your boys through the achievement activities required for rank advancement, you will find that looking ahead can have significant planning benefits.
This book provides a framework for Webelos den meetings and can be incredibly helpful in terms of programming. There is not a lot of material relating to some of the alternate ways a particular program can be executed for scouts that may learn differently. Nonetheless, it is a great jumping off point to deliver valuable programming to scouts.
