One thing I did as a CubMaster that was really cool and kept me in the loop of a Scout's progress post Cub Scouts and also kept them thinking about Eagle thru Boy Scouts was this. At the AoL and crossover ceremony, I gave each of the boys a post card. It was addressed to me with a postage stamp on it that had plenty of postage to cover rises over the years. The post card invited me as their old Cub Master to their Eagle ceremony. I let them know that they could use it as a book mark thru Scouting and then when they earned Eagle, fill in the blanks and mail it to me. The text on it said this. Dear Mr. _________, this is ____________. Remember me? I was in your Cub Scout Pack 465 and crossed over to Troop ____ in 2013. I would like to ask for your attendance at my Eagle Court of Honor on ____________. Thank you and hope to see you there! As a Cub Master I did this for years and then for years and years got these cards in the mail and went to many Eagle ceremonies to watch and/or speak. Was a very powerful tool that made an impact and really set many boys on the trail to Eagle. They don't need a big gift or trophy, but instead something powerful they will hold and use as a guide toward bigger goals.
