Crossing Over

Last night we were able to share a very special evening with the Cub Scouts. We had a spaghetti dinner, then we had our very first Crossing Over ceremony for our pack. A Crossing Over is a ceremony where Webelos II (fifth graders) officially leave Cub Scouts and become Boy Scouts. There were seven of our boys that have earned this achievement. So our ceremony started with the raising of the American flag and the pledge.

Next the Webelos were presented with their Arrow of Light patches. Then the two Webelos leaders came forward for the removal of the colours and all patches from the Cub Scouts.

After the leaders were done changing colours it was the boys turn. Our Cub Master, T, removed all the colours and patches for the Cub Scouts. They then crossed the bridge and their new Boy Scout leaders gave them their new neckerchiefs and colours. It has been a honour to see these boys grow in the past three years. They are such wonderful guys and they make us all proud. So to these members of our new Troop, congratulations!
