Q & A from the March Roundtable
Q: New books, who
should buy them the parents or the ward?
A: It depends on
if your ward buys them already. Most wards don't and it would be up to the
parents to buy it. We are not sure of the cost yet and there will be an e-reader
version sold on amazon.com. We hope there will be a pdf version that can be
downloaded but we have not heard if there will be. The books are supposed to be
at the scout store in May. There will be a new leader book as well. Each ward
should buy at least one for their leaders to
use.
Q: Who buys the
belt loops for the wolves & bears?
A: The wolves
& bears will now receive a belt loop for their award for completing an
adventure. The yellow & red beads and the arrow points are going away. The
cost of the beads and arrow points is small compared to the cost of the belt
loops and some packs may have to adjust their budgets. On the webcasts it stated
that the belt loops will cost $1.39 and the pins will be $1.89. The Webelos will
still receive pins but now should earn 14 (7-Webelos & 7-Arrow of Light)
where before they earned 8 to 16.
Q: How will the
Webelos be able to earn all 14 adventures?
A: Some may by
earned at home like the two Duty to God adventures. If they attend Webelos Pow
Wow, held in January, or Webelos Woods, held in August, they will complete at
least 2 adventures at each event.
Q: How should I
plan the rest of the year:
A: This is a topic
that we will discuss at Roundtable but there are some suggestions online: http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/CubScouts/Leaders/ProgramPlanning.aspx
