#30 - Webelos To Scout Transition
A big question we saw over the Summer was what to do with those older boys who are looking for more of a challenge, but not quite ready for Boy Scouts. In our third big roundtable, we tackle this question and talk about ways to make those Webelos enjoy their final year in Cub Scouts.

Show Guests:
Cubmaster John Tolar - The Pack Podcast
Steve B - Scoutmaster for Troop 68 in Melrose, MN and creator of the Melrose Scouting Production Podcast
Mack McKee - Assistant Cubmaster for Pack 421, Arlington, TX
Lori Shields - ASM Troop 1, Abington PA and Webelos-to-Scout Transition Coordinator

#29 -Grilling a District Executive

In our continuing quest to find out what those people do above the unit level, we get to talk to a District Executive about his job and how it helps the units and the Scouts. The conversation gets very interesting quickly and will get a lot of people talking about their relationship with their District. Questions? Send them in!

Also, as we announce in the show, we will be taking next week off to get our own Packs in line and ready for the school year. In the meantime, don’t forget to check out the forums!

Show Guest:
Erik Karre, District Executive - Overland Trails Council, Kearney, Nebraska
