Troop 53

Extra Information for Webelos

If you are a Webelos Scout in a local Pack (Belleville, Swansea, Fairview Heights, Shiloh, etc.) and plan on joining Troop 53, we will gladly attend your Pack's crossover/bridging ceremony to welcome you into Boy Scouting. The Cub Scout Pack leader responsible for the ceremony should contact our Scoutmaster as early as possible to let us know when your ceremony will take place. We'll send the Scoutmaster or an Assistant Scoutmaster and some Scouts to participate and to present you with the green Boy Scout epaulets to replace your blue Cub Scout ones. If you are in Pack 2 arrangements have probably already been made for us to attend your ceremony. Our local Order of the Arrow chapter can do an Indian-themed bridging ceremony (have your leader contact the Scout Office), or we can do one of ours.
