Troop 19 actively recruits Webelos scouts by providing activities
that support the Arrow of Light program. We want Webelos to sample Boy Scouts,
so we generally invite all Webelos dens to visit our meetings and host them at
at least two campouts, where we serve our infamous Fairview Stew.
This year,
for example, we had one meeting for the Readyman Badge, and another where we
worked on a variety of merit badges (and their Showman badge). Our November version
of Fairview Stew was at Camp Peairs, but the highlight of every year is a February
visit to Starved Rock where we share our love of the outdoors (and the beauty
of Starved Rock in wintertime) with our Webelos friends. In February and March,
the troop's recruiting efforts usually culminate
with crossovers into Troop 19.
We hope that Troop 19 will be the "best they've seen," and
that they'll contribute to our history and build new traditions.
