The "New Scout Program Plan" outlined here is a 20 week plan for new scouts to attain 1st Class rank within 6 months. An assumption is that new scout is an Arrow of Light reciepient, that is, he is already familiar with scouting and, in fact, probably earned the Scout rank as his foot hit the ground after stepping off of the cross over bridge. Note that it is OK if this plan is not completed within 6 months, the real aim is to get new scouts to 1st Class within their 1st year of scouting.

Also note that this is only a guide that the PLC can use in their planning meeting to be sure that all the requirements are covered for the "New Scouts." These meeting plans still need to be "fleshed out," for example with which patrol has opening, which patrols will sing which songs during opening, which patrol has clean-up, etc., and some of the meeting plans will need to be adjusted in order for the plans to merge with the troop calendar for things like Courts of Honor and camping trips.

Examine Week 1, . . . , Week 20 provided here, or, use the blank form to make your own plan. A Spring implementation of this plan would start Week 1 in the first week of February, and, Week 20 is completed in June - in time for the new Scouts to be proficient Scouts at summer scout camp (starting later may result in completion after summer scout camp).
