The Webelos II (Fifth Grade) Den Leader's Role

Your ultimate success in helping bays in Scouting is getting your Webelos to join a Boy Scout Troop in February. Your efforts through the Webelos program have made a major contribution towards the Scouting trail for all boys in your den/patrol. You are the key to a smooth transition for your Webelos.

TARGET DATE	TASK
September Roundtable	Joint meeting: Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, & Webelos 2 (5th grade) leaders Webelos graduation job description sheets for every Scoutmaster, Cubmaster, or Pack Committee chairman and Webelos leader plus Webelos Tracking sheets are distributed.
September	Have your den select a Scout patrol name, get patrol patches to wear, make a patrol flag, and elect a patrol leader. (Check the Scout Handbook for ideas.)
October	Complete and return your Webelos roster (tracking sheet) to the Membership Committee at the October roundtable. (This is very important so that troops can send you Webelos information and invite them to orientation and camp promotion meetings.)
October/November	Meet with the local Scoutmaster(s) for transition planning. Take your Webelos and their parents to visit a troop meeting. A new parent/Scout informational meeting at the troop should include summer camp plans. Ask the troop to appoint a Webelos Den Chief (This will aid new Scouts with their transition into the troop.)
December	Encourage your Webelos to make a final decision on joining a troop. Assist the Cubmaster in planning a top-notch, personalized graduation for the February pack meeting.
January	Arrange to hold den meetings with the Boy Scout Troop. Once opening is over, Webelos move to their own room for their regular meeting; return to the troop closing. Webelos and leaders become familiar with Troop scouts and leaders; lean more about summer camp and outdoor programs
February	Graduate your Webelos into Boy Scouts. Have them complete a Scout application and register with the troop. New Scouts should have a Scout Handbook at this time.
February/March	Be sure that new Scouts have a schedule and begin attending troop activities. Encourage parents to get involved with the troop committee. Talk to the Scoutmaster about continuing to work with the new Scouts as a patrol advisor, Assistant Scoutmaster. This will help boys become comfortable in the new troop. Help as needed with any final details for summer camp preparedness. Follow up with any of your Webelos as to why they did not yet join a troop.
March	Joint Scoutmasters, Cubmasters, & new Webelos 1 leaders. General orientation Round Table for new Webelos 1 leaders moving up from Bear leadership.
