"Embark on an Adventure: Your Path from Cub to Scout"
Imagine a journey that unfolds in stages, each step more exhilarating than the last. That's the essence of Scouting—a dynamic continuum of challenges and growth.
​
It begins with Cub Scouting, where the adventure begins at home, bonding families through exploration and discovery. Then, as the young ones grow, the Scouts BSA program beckons, tailored for those aged 11 to 17, ready to spread their wings in the great outdoors. Here, youth take the reins, shaping troop activities and honing leadership skills under the guidance of dedicated adults.
Transitioning from Cub Pack to Scout Troop should be seamless, a natural progression with no time lost in between. By the time Webelos Scouts are poised to cross over, they and their families should be familiar faces within the troop, brimming with excitement for the next chapter.
​
The graduation ceremony marks a significant milestone, signifying the ascent to a new level of Scouting prowess. It's a moment brimming with pride, where the coveted Arrow of Light badge is bestowed alongside the tools and knowledge needed for the journey ahead.
​
For those who've earned the Arrow of Light rank, the gates to the Scout troop swing wide open, beckoning with endless possibilities.
​
Preparation for this transition is key, and what better way than immersing oneself in troop events? These gatherings are tailor-made for Webelos Scouts and their families, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Scouting that awaits. And mark your calendars for October—a time when the campfire beckons and bonds are forged. It's the perfect opportunity for Cub Scouts and their families to mingle with the spirited members of North Aurora Troop 104, laying the groundwork for friendships and adventures yet to come.

Patrols
Your scout will be assigned to a patrol. A patrol is a small group of Scouts BSA within a troop. They elect a patrol leader and function almost like a family within the troop. They divide up the chores to be done and work together as a group to meet their goals. Your scout will will come to rely on patrol members for mentoring, companionship, and camping activities.
Your scout will have the chance in a short time to be a patrol leader or assistant leader, or to have another position of responsibility in the troop.
