Why does the Webelos World Conservation Award have an AOL requirement now? It lists Building a Better World which has now been separated to an AOL advancement.

And we have been told not to work on anything AOL because of the change happening this June.

The scout has done almost everything else.

Comment - June 01 is the published date of the change. It is the date National uses as the standard for “end of the school year”. They have to choose a date for advancing the grade of cub scouts in My.Scouting and June 01 is a decent match. So, ‘do what’s best for your scouts’. As a result, many places where school ends in mid-June will implement the changes in the pack then. That change would be promoting the dens to the next rank in Scoutbook.

Sorry, I don’t have a reference to quote for June 01 = nominal end of school.

Currently do not have the option to enter in building a better world for my webelo. I would have to go into AOL and enter it in there. Then what happens? As of June 1, then won’t go away and they have to restart it? Right now is listed under AOL. You can’t be working on webelo and Mark off that adventure in Scout book. That is my question.
