Campaigning, Conduct, Camping (with Webelos), and Content of troop meetings.
Listen to my answer to the question: should we be teaching Scouts conflict resolution? (spoiler- yes and no!)
In addition we’ll discuss campaigning for youth leadership elections, what standards apply to Webelos camping with troops, and whether or not merit badge instruction is the right content for troop meetings, and sneak in another aspect of boards of review.
Here’s a couple of resources I mentioned; Pack Overnighter Site Approval Form , OWL training, and the post on Constructive Scouting Discipline.

Mr. Green,
I disagree with your conclusion that the guidelines in the Pack Overnighter Site Approval Form apply to Webelos Den Camping. The Cub Scout Outdoor Program Guidelines make a pretty clear delineation between “Pack Overnighters” and “Webelos Den Camping”. When you take the whole Pack, the Pack Overnighter Form is required and it’s rules apply (including council approval of the site!). When the Webelos Den camps, the form and its rules do not apply.
Yes, the Guidelines go on to say “BSA health and safety, age-appropriate guidelines for Cub Scout activities,and Youth Protection guidelines apply” for Webelos camping, but I take this to be referring to the “Age Appropriate Activities” from the G2SS. No canoe trips for the Webelos!
This also jibes with what I was taught in BALOO and we had the same discussion there.
I’m hoping the new cub program coming next year clarifies a lot of this language. I suspect that the fairly arcane rules contribute to a lot of packs and webelos dens only participating in district and council activities; if that.
I’ve followed your blog for a long time but have just started listening to the podcast. Keep up the great work, you provide an invaluable resource.
