Thanks for that tartan info Ron. I think I might go join the STA.
I've heard all kinds of explainations for the name Webelos, but my favorite is that it simpley means "wee below" the Boy Scouts. LOL! I don't know, someone probably just made that up.

Whatever, its a sharp looking tartan. #4119 at the STA. And I'm sure it'd go well with a matching neckerchief.

BTW
What the Tiger Cub handbook says and you are teaching them, is probably right; I really wouldn't know.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
