FAST TRACKS
ON THE ADVANCEMENT TRAIL

Fast Tracks is a series of den meeting plans (two den meetings per month) designed to be used in conjunction with the youth handbooks. By following the these plans, active Scouts can earn their Tiger, Wolf, Bear, or Webelos rank by February, usually in time for the Blue & Gold Banquet. After these meetings, Scouts continue to meet to work on other electives, Belt Loops and Pins, and other Cub Scout Awards through the rest of the year. All Cub Scouts must first earn their Bobcat Badge.

Use the Fast Tracks as-is or as a resource for your own meeting plans.

DEN LEADER KITS AND PACK PROGRAM KITS

In the past, both of these kits/folders were funded through special appropriations. This year, the funds available in the past for appropriations were not in the budget. As a best solution to the lack of funds, the Boy Scouts of America opted to update all of the pieces from the kits and make them widely available on the scouting.org web site.

The links to the den leader kits and the Annual Pack Program Planning Conference folder are:

The Concho Valley Council is providing these awards at no cost to local troops. Patches will be received by troop leaders once an application and registration fees are forwarded to the Council Office.

Scouts can invite a boy to join electronically by sending an e-card from
