Crossover

Wynken's Cub Scout Pack finally had their Blue & Gold banquet which had been much delayed due to the blizzard of 2010.

The Webelos II boys ceremoniously crossed the bridge from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. His new Scout troop is already doing activities like gangbusters. Some of the parents put together shadow boxes for the boys to commemorate their time in Cub Scouts. Mrs. Nod framed Wynken's shirt along with the patches, pins, ribbons, and belt loops that he earned.

The neckerchief colors are missing from the box because we needed them for the ceremony, so we'll put them back in later. Notable achievements include the Arrow of Light (stage upper left) and the religious medals (stage right pocket) which are the only two awards allowed to be transferred to the Boy Scout uniform.

Some of the boys had a LOT of medals to display.

Congratulations to you and your son! Moving to a troop is a big change from Webelos Scouts.

Can you send me more info about how you did the cub scout shadow box? I'd love to do something like that for my son. Could you send me a closer up picture of it so I can see how you did it? Where did you buy the shadow box. How did you mount it? Did you use their actual shirt? Help! Thanks so much.

Carin, the shadowbox was picked up at the local craft store. We used the actual shirt, which was pinned down. The badges were affixed using adhesive sticky dots (also at the craft store).

Hope that helps. Good luck@
