JimF Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'm moving up with my Bear Den to be a Webelos Den Leader next year. I'm planning to have the Den pick a name and wear a den patch on their Webelos uniforms. As den leader, do I wear the patch or keep my old Den Number Strip on my adult Scouter uniform?

curious_scouter Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 My two cents: Assuming the idea is to help them ease into the Patrol Method, only the boys should wear the patrol emblem. You should emulate the role of a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster in the exercise. We did this in our AOL year to prepare them for the patrol method. Have them elect a leader. When possible, rely on the Patrol leader to execute tasks and run activities during the den meetings. If you have a Den Chief, treat them like the Senior Patrol Leader and progressively start asking them to direct the Patrol leader. I found it hard after 8 years in a Pack to adjust to the "boy lead" mindset of a Troop. After so many years of doing for/with them, it's hard to back off a bit. This is good practice for them and for you 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why many troops i have been with wantba year or more on the commitee first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
