We have a family picnic each year to celebrate the scouts who are promoted to the next level - Tiger to Wolf - Wolf to Bear - Bear to Webelos 1 - and Webelos 1 to Webelo 2. This the the Man-Cub's last promotion in Cub Scouts - in February he'll receive the Arrow of Light and move to Boy Scouts. Since Webelos last for 2 years there's not really anything all that special about the change from 1 to 2 - so that's when we change to the olive/tan scout uniform and believe me that's a big deal.
