Allow Webelos scouts that have started the program to complete the program under the terms and requirements that were in place when they joined.

The Issue

As Abraham Lincoln said, "Don't change horses in midstream."  

Allow scouts that are Webelos during the 2014-2015 scouting year, to complete the Arrow of light under the existing requirements and not have to change mid-stream.

The boys in Webelos for the 2014-2015 year are planning an 18 month plan to earn the rank of Webelos and Arrow of light.  The transition plan does not allow webelos dens, many of whom have laid out their 18 month calendars already, to make an informed choice as to which activity pins they’d actually pursue.  It’s unfair to the volunteers on the ground and it’s unfair to the boys.
