		<description>You are correct.  My Troop Guide asked me the same question.  Why send them off when they are the highest to the lowest rank.  It does not do them any service.

We generally do the same.  However, this is the first year since I have been in the Pack that we basically have most all the Den ready for their Rank by March.  March 12th is the Pack Meeting and we will award Tigers, Bears &amp; Webelos I their Rank.  March 17th is the Arrow of Light/Crossover Ceremony at Scouter&#039;s Mtn.  It is a Pack Overnighter that in dedicated to just the Webelos II.  That has been the case for three years now. The first year, the Webelos II just had the OA come in and Bingo, GONE.

The big thing is that the Troops like to get them sooner so they can get them ready for Summer Camp and all.  In our Council the first deadline is March 15th for payment to Summer Camp.</description>
