Arrow of Light Crossover
It’s hard to believe we’re already a month into 2025! It’s a very exciting time, especially if your Cub Scouts are ready to move on to the next phase of the Scouting program- Scouts BSA!
Arrow of Light (AOL) Dens in your Pack should have been meeting with local prospective Scouts BSA Troops to consider transitioning into throughout the fall and winter months. It’s an ideal time to meet the leaders, participate in fun activities, and meet older youth who are excited about Scouting!
If the youth meet one or more of the following three criteria, they are eligible to transition into Scouts BSA:
- It is past March 1, 2025 and they are in 5th grade and are at least 10 years of age
- They have earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years of age
- They are at least 11 years of age
There is NO ADDITIONAL FEE associated with transitioning from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA- their registration was paid for a full year when they registered with the Pack during the fall. Simply go here for simple directions on how to transfer the AOL Scout.
Hopefully you have been in contact with local Troops and have already established a relationship! Troop information can be found at www.goscouting.org, and filtered using school names or zip codes. You can also reach out to your local District Executive or contact [email protected] with any questions you may have.
We are here to support and help you. Reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have, and we look forward to seeing you in Scouts BSA!
