Hello & Welcome to Webelos! I just wanted to introduce myself to the new scout families. I am your scout’s den leader, Lee Ann Bailleu. I was the Bear leader last year and moved up to Webelos with my son, Spencer. My husband, Rob, helps a lot, too, as do many parents in our pack. Webelos is totally different than what we are used to in Cub Scouts. The best way to sum it up is that we are no longer Cub Scouts, but Pre-Boy Scouts. Most of the things we do in Webelos are to prepare the boys for Boy Scouting. It takes a while, that’s why there are 1½ years of Webelos. We will watch the Webelos II cross over to Boy Scouting in February.
Each scout is required to have a Webelos book. This book is really thick, don’t let that fool you, it is for 2 years. There are many things that we get to accomplish this year. If you have any questions, please ask me.
Each month I will be sending home a newsletter like this one. It will contain the schedule for the month and the achievements/requirements met. It will also have any notes I have to inform you what we are needing or planning. If your scout misses a meeting, he will need to fulfill the requirement on his own. If you need help or have any questions please contact me.
I wanted to let all parents know that parental support/participation is crucial in helping your scout enjoy scouting and meet his requirements. If you have any special interests that would be beneficial to the scouts, please fill them out on the scout survey. I am always looking for fun ways to fulfill requirements, so please let me know if you have any ideas!
The uniform is very important to scouting, especially Webelos & Boy Scouts. One thing we learn this year is understanding the uniform. Therefore it is important for the scout to wear his uniform to each meeting and event. If this is a problem, please talk to me.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
