Becoming a Scout
Webelos (AOL)
Webelos Dens are invited to come and visit a troop meeting. We are happy to help your den advance through the Webelos and Arrow of Light Advnetures as your Cubs race towards crossing over into Scouts!
Crossing over
As Webelos compete the requirements for thier Arrow of Light they 'cross over' into a Scouting America Troop.
Troop 2319 is happy to assist Cub Scout Packs with thier Webelos/Arrow of Light cross overs into Scouting America. Reach out to our Scoutmaster and let us know how we can help!
New to Scouting
Troop 2319 is open to girls ages 11–17 (or those who have completed 5th grade and are 10 years-old). Visit a troop meeting to meet leaders, Scouts, and see how the program works. If you decide to join you'll fill out the official application form, pay dues, and finalize enrollment.
Becoming a Scout is easy...
Once registered, Scouts begin their journey by learning basic skills, participating in troop meetings, and going on outdoor adventures. They progress through ranks (Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, Eagle) by completing requirements, earning merit badges, and demonstrating leadership.
