Webelos and their Parents: will have an opportunity to meet and talk with several Troops in their area, ask questions and get the information they need when deciding which Unit they want to join when they crossover. You can download and print a copy of "Troop Visit Questions" for ideas of what to ask the Troops at the Open House event.
For more complete Webelos Transition information download our "Silver Comet Webelos Transition Manual".
Troops: set up a display of their activities and are on hand to answer questions about Boy Scouting in their Unit. Troops should fill out and return the “Troop Information Sheet” by October 31st. The District Membership team will hand out the Information Sheet to all Webelos at the event. Email your Information Sheet to our Silver Comet Membership Chair.
For details on the display and venue guidelines view/download our "SCD Webelos Open House Exhibitor Guidelines". Also have a look at the "Silver Comet Webelos Transition Manual" which will help you to “be prepared” for the questions the Webelos and their Parents will be asking.

Cubmasters, Webelos Leaders, don't forget about registering for Webelos Woods!
The campout is just for Webelos Dens to teach the patrol method, have fun, and work with some Troops and Venture Crews who will be running the games.
It's just for Webelos, so no siblings and no other Cub Scout ranks!
It's a fun weekend for Webelos 1 & 2 to camp as a patrol, cook for themselves, and learn teamwork that they will need when they crossover to a Troop. Visit the 2018 Webelos Woods event page for the registration and payment link along with additional details and the Leader Guide.
In order to continue providing a safe and secure environment for today’s youth, the Boy Scouts of America has developed a new version of the Youth Protection Training program to be taken by all BSA volunteers and staff.
The new online training (YPT2) was launched to the public on February 1, 2018 and covers all BSA Program areas (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturing, Exploring).
All registered Scout Leaders Must take the new Youth Protection Training by October 1, 2018 in order to remain registered with BSA. If you have taken YPT online on or after February 1, 2018 you have taken the new YPT2. If you have not taken the new course since February 1st,(either online or live training) your YPT expiration date has been moved up to September 30, 2018.
All registered leaders must complete the new YPT2 training by October 1, 2018.
The online training format for YPT2 at my.scouting.org has changed for 2018. For a guide to taking the new Training on my.scouting.org click here. Your YPT completion certificate will be emailed to you upon completion of all 4 modules of the course.
The Silver Comet District annual Scouting for Food program is in conjunction with the annual The Center for Family Resources’ Thanks-for-Giving project. Stuffing is our focal food item.
The collection begins Saturday, November 3. There will be a collection point at Jim Miller Park during the Turkey Shoot. The final collection will be at the November Roundtable Meeting on November 8.
Any non- perishable food items are welcome, but “Stuffing” is our focal food item.
The Pack AND the Troop which raise the most boxes or packages of “Stuffing” will be recognized at our annual banquet with an appropriate prize. It is not too late to plan your individual unit’s “Stuffing” food drive. Good luck and help feed Cobb County families this Thanksgiving.
