| This paper describes the crossover ceremony our Pack used for the Webelos Crossover at our last Blue and Gold Banquet. It includes a diagram of the bridge we built a few years ago and that we use for both Webelos and Tiger graduations. (For the Tiger ceremony, we change the placarding on the girders to "Search," "Discover," and "Share" and we change eight planks to the eight steps to the Bobcat Badge. One of these days we will make a separate Tiger set of girders and planks so we don't have to change anything! And another one of these days, we will put down on paper the actual plans for building the bridge. For now, if you want to build one, you'll have to figure out the plans from our sketch--it's made with 3/4-inch birch plywood and wood screws, but the next one will be solid wood planks and reinforced [I-beam] girders.) We hope this inspires someone! |
