Boy Scouting is designed for boys’ ages
11 through 17, who are old enough to be on their own in the out-of-doors. While adults serve as key leaders, Boy Scouts hold leadership positions and plan the troop's
program.
The passage from Cub Scout pack to Boy Scout troop should be smooth, with no time lost in between. By the time Webelos Scouts are ready to cross over,
they and their families should be familiar and comfortable with the youth and adult leaders of the troop, their role in the troop and troop activities, and feel excited
about beginning this new adventure.
A Webelos Scout who has earned the Arrow of Light Award has now completed all the requirements for the Scout badge and may
join a Boy Scout troop.
If you are a Webelos Scout Leader or just a parent looking for a Troop, come vist Troop 1880 and learn what Boy Scouting is all about.
"Boy Scouts has formed the central pillar to my youth thus far, and in my life as a whole. I owe my fondest memories, greatest adventures, and most trusted, life-long friends all to Scouts. It has helped me form hobbies, discover myself, learn to work with and understand others, and most of all appreciate the journey of coming of age. I began as a boy and Scouts formed me into a young man. It allowed me to travel, to see new places, have fantastic new experiences in the outdoors, and discover my physical and mental strengths in overcoming challenges there. While doing all of this, I could not hope to appreciate its significance until looking back on it years removed. At times as a Scout I grew tired and frustrated as all of us do, but sticking with it proved to be wholly rewarding, and I guarantee those that chose to quit regret it now. In all Boy Scouts provided me with so much, and I intend to give it all back through my life and actions. I cannot recommend the program enough and would urge any and all who are even remotely interested to at least give it a try." ~~ Kevin Orosz, Eagle Scout 10/25/2007
