#70-Webelos To Scout Part 2
Tonight we will be talking about Webelos and the process they take to become Boy Scouts.
Webelos is unique in Cub Scouts because it not only gives the Scouts more change for
adventure but also encourages them to take on more responsibilities. All of this is designed to
prepare them to become Boy Scouts. Let us prove to you that the transition can actually be fun and adventurous. This is part 2 of a 2 part discussion.

Chris, can you share the Troop evaluation sheet you talked about??
I WISH we had an active OA that would even consider doing the cross-over ceremony!! It brings the OA into the spotlight and around here they just don't have that visability.

Kris, Here are some crossover forms and information.
Crossover Overview http://www.rocklandscouts.org/…..sition.pdf
Scout, Adult, and general troop questions for Families crossing over. http://www.rocklandscouts.org/…..STIONS.pdf
One page 3 troop evaluation http://www.scripps-mesa.org/Cu…..%20_2_.pdf
DSlightly different than rockland questionaire. Northern lights is currrently regarded by many as one of the best councils. http://northernlights.nsbsa.or…..nnaire.pdf
Crossover dissappearing packet. If everything goes right the paperwork dissappears and all the boys have crossover.

i thought the syracuse lodge was active but maybe they don't have a ceremoneis team that will do it, If you would like them to do it try contacting them to see if they can help you so at least you know why they won't

Here's how we normally track our OA Indian Heritage group down.
We go to round table and and track down the Chapter Adviser or Chief. Last year we were lucky and had the Lodge advisor in our district. Ask them who is the charge of the Indian Heritage Committee and how to contact them.
Once you get in contact with them ask if they do Crossover Ceremonies. If they say no try to find out why. You can usually bribe them with dinner at the ceremony. If that doesn't work Try to find a crafty person with material they could donate. The materials for the regalia have to come from somewhere.
It may just be that no one has given them a ceremony to practice for crossovers. I have heard of ceremonies that break arrows, shoot flaming arrows, ours doesn't use any arrows (other than the carrer arrows the boys get.)

You might also try to get in touch with the lodge's ceremonies team. Every lodge has a ceremonies team that does the ceremonies for the ordeal and most have the regalia becuase it is used for these events. I have a cermony that I got from Scoutmaster Jerry that we did for the local pack's crossover. I can email it to you if you would like. Also I am the ceremoneis chair for my lodge so if I can be of any help just ask me.
