Information for new scouts and scout parents
The Boy Scout program is very different from the Cub Scout program - mostly in the fact that it is Boy-Led. The transition from Webelos to Boy Scouts, or from someone with no scout experience to Boy Scouts, can be confusing at times. We have listed here some things to help the new scout family make the transition into Boy Scouts easier.
Some of these links are to Portable Document Format (PDF) Files. The free Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to read these files and can be obtained from the Adobe site by clicking the "Get Acrobat Reader" button.
