The board of review may take place after April 1. Second year Webelos Dens should be preparing to transfer to a Boy Scout troop in February or March. Explain the troop operation, discuss future plans, explain the adult positions in the troop, recruit parents for troop committee or assistant Scoutmaster positions that night, and invite volunteers to attend troop committee meetings. A troop will not last long without transferring Cub Scouts each year. Units may schedule their bowling time in February or March.
Scouts collect pledges on the number of pins bowled, then collect the money pledged after bowling.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this years sale such a big success. A detailed report on sales will be in the next Pilot. Each pack and troop will be asked to have a presentation on the Friends of Scouting campaign in February and March. A representative from the distinct will contact each pack and troop to set a date for the presentation. With the increase in the popcorn sale, a good increase in FOS could put the council over the top in fund raising for the first time in years.
