Losing weight and beginning a regular exercise program can help bring your blood glucose levels to within the normal range. However, this does not mean that your diabetes has been cured. Rather, you must maintain these lifestyle habits, including eating healthy foods, to keep your blood glucose in control and to minimize the chances of complications.
Diet and exercise alone may not be enough to maintain blood glucose levels within a normal range. You may need to take anti-diabetes medications, including insulin, to control glucose levels.
Weight Loss
Weight loss is the first step you can take to help lower your blood glucose level. As you lose weight, your body's cells will be more responsive to insulin. This can lead to improved blood glucose control.
The safest and most effective way to lose weight is by eating fewer calories, eating healthy food, and exercising regularly. You should strive for gradual and continual weight loss until you reach your ideal weight. If you are overweight, losing just 5%-10% of your body weight can make a difference in your blood glucose control.
The nutrition guidelines for managing diabetes can seem complicated. However, you will see that the guidelines are similar as those for general good health. A registered dietitian can help you develop healthy eating patterns that will work for you. Ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian.
The basic eating guidelines for people with type 2 diabetes are:
Eat 3 meals per day, and do not skip meals. Each meal should be at about the same time each day and contain about the same amount of carbohydrate, protein, and fat as the same meal the day before. Your blood glucose rises and falls in response to your eating patterns. Therefore, by eating about the same amounts and types of food at the same times each day, you can more easily predict when your blood glucose level will rise.
Snacks are also important. Eat 2-3 snacks per day, and keep them with you at all times in case a meal is delayed. Just before bedtime, have a snack that contains both protein and starch. Eating at this time can help control the changes in blood glucose that may occur while you sleep.
To make sure that you are getting the nutrients that you need, follow the US Department of Agriculture's ChooseMyPlate guidelines. MyPlate encourages you to:
- Fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables .
- Eat whole grains , lean protein , and fat-free or low-fat dairy products.
- Watch your portion size! Avoid overeating.
- Choose low-sodium foods.
- Opt for water instead of sugary drinks.
In addition, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) offers these tips for creating a healthy plate:
- Give yourself a larger amount of non-starchy vegetables. There are many kinds to choose from like spinach, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, mushrooms, and peppers.
- Add a small serving of starchy foods. Some examples include: whole grain bread, rice, cooked beans, peas, corn and potatoes.
- Add a small serving of meat or meat substitute (such as chicken, fish, shrimp, tofu).
- Drink a glass of fat-free milk with your meal.
Sugar and starch are both carbohydrates. Your body reacts to any type of carbohydrate in the same way, so the total amount of carbohydrate you eat is more important for blood glucose control than the source.
A dietitian can help you determine how many grams of carbohydrate you should eat per day. This amount should be dispersed evenly throughout your meals and snacks, and you may need to avoid foods that are high in sugar. Many foods contain carbohydrates. Grain products, fruits, and milk products contain the most. Soda has a lot of sugars and should be avoided.
Keep a record of your meals, include the time you ate, what you ate, and how much you ate. Include this information with your blood glucose levels and insulin dosages. This information is very helpful when you discuss how to modify your medication and/or diet with your doctor.
The ADA recommends exercising for at least 150 minutes a week. This should be moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, like brisk walking, riding a bicycle, playing tennis, or doing water aerobics. In addition, strength training should be done at least twice a week. Examples of strength training include using free weights, weight machines, or resistance bands.
Talk with your doctor about an exercise program that is safe for you. Since exercise usually causes your blood glucose to drop, you may need to make some modifications in your medication dose and schedule, as well as your eating plan. Also, when you exercise, remember to wear your diabetes identification bracelet.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if you:
- Are having difficulty losing weight
- Have any questions about your eating plan
- Feel that your eating plan is too difficult to follow
- Want to start an exercise program or make significant changes in your present program
Have any symptoms of hypoglycemia after exercising
- Shakiness
- Lightheadedness
- Extreme sweating
- Hunger
- Headache
- Pale skin color

PALPITATIONS and VicodinPatientsVille
PALPITATIONS Symptoms and Causes
An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called tachycardia. When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia. The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation, which causes an irregular and fast heart beat.
Many factors can affect your heart's rhythm, such as having had a heart attack, smoking, congenital heart defects, and stress. Some substances or medicines may also cause arrhythmias.
Symptoms of arrhythmias include
Your doctor can run tests to find out if you have an arrhythmia. Treatment to restore a normal heart rhythm may include medicines, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or pacemaker, or sometimes surgery.

By Jennifer O'Neill
If you're like most moms, you carefully choreograph your days to get everything done. And that means plenty of multitasking. Exercise, however, probably isn't included in your dance. After all, you can't get to the gym or do an exercise video while, say, cooking dinner or reading email.
But what if you didn't need the gym or even a chunk of time to reap the rewards or exercise? "Doing squats while you brush your teeth or standing pushups in the kitchen only takes two minutes, and it makes a difference to your health," says Shirley Archer, author of Fitness 9 to 5: Easy Exercises for the Working Week.
Specifically, strength training has been shown to reduce depression symptoms, diabetes risk and back pain, plus strengthen your bones. It also boosts metabolism. Women who strength-train burn more calories in the 24 hours afterward than they would if they hadn't worked out, according to a study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
In every room of your home is an opportunity to exercise, says Archer. So tap into your multitasking skills and try her easy routine. You can do the moves throughout your day -- just try to do each move one to three times a day, three times per week.
Room: Bathroom
Exercise: Single-leg Squats
Instead of just standing while working the toothbrush around your molars, work your hips, thighs, stomach and back too:
Room: Kitchen
Exercise: Counter Pushups
Next time you're in the kitchen, strengthen your arms, shoulders, chest, stomach and back:
Room: Hallway
Exercise: Traveling Lunges
Turn your room-to-room travels into a quick toning session for legs and hips:
Room: Dining Room
Exercise: Chair Triceps Dips
You probably spend a lot of non-eating time at the dining table -- on your laptop, scrapbooking, feeding your kids -- why not also firm up your arms and shoulders while there?
Room: Living Room
Exercise: Sofa Squats
Commercial breaks don't have to be boring. Use the two minutes to tone your legs, hips, stomach and back:
If you try this routine for a week, you'll see just how easily exercise can fit into your daily life. Not only will you begin to feel and look better, you'll have more energy -- and what multitasking mom doesn't want that?

"Gowabunga!" With a rebel yell, the "Lemmings" point their fat skis downhill and plunge one by one like their namesake suicidal rodents over the edge and into the void. A vertiginous playground of super steep fall lines, monster moguls, abrupt troughs and thigh high, untracked pillowy white stuff, Gowabunga is Silver Star's most infamous double black ski run. Along with other serious steeps like Headwall, Gong Show, Three Wise Men, Chute 5 and the ominously named Free Fall, it comprises the legendary "Dark Side" of this otherwise harmless B.C. hill.
"This is heli-skiing for the price of a lift ticket," exclaims Shane Gorrill, a paper mill construction contractor from Chemainus and charter member of this pack of middle-aged powder hounds who've been skiing some of Western Canada's gnarliest bumps together for nearly 30 winters.
Fellow Lemming Mike Sullivan, a dentist from Manitoba who counts Silver Star's wild backside among his favourite alpine vertical challenges, eagerly concurs: "It's so amazing and soft, with consistently great fall lines and easy accessibility to double black diamond runs that are just the right length. In a word, amazing."
Located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley just 20 minutes drive from Vernon and protected by the Coast Mountains, Silver Star Resort is famous for its champagne powder and varied terrain, which attracts every level of skier and boarder. A quaint and cosy car-free village, designed to resemble a turn-of-the-20th-Century mining town, relaxed family-friendly focus and world-class Nordic trails only add to its wintry wonderland charm.
But it's the "Dark Side" of Silver Star — the extensive backside Putnam Creek area — that draws more advanced skiers and boarders looking for serious downhill thrills. They come to carve fresh first tracks on wide open yet challenging groomed black runs with names like Holy Smokes and Bon Diablo. Some escalate the adventure by daring to dive headfirst into adrenalin junkie thrill rides like Gowabunga.
"People don't think of Silver Star in the same ranks as hills like Lake Louise, Fernie and Red Mountain," says resort services manager Robin Baycroft the next morning over fresh European-style pastries and Dutch hot chocolate at Bugaboos Café. "The fact that we've long been seen as a family friendly mountain overshadows our tremendous terrain," he adds.
The resort has 1,240 hectares of skiable terrain with 115 ski and snowboard trails, including 13 double-black diamond runs — all blanketed by over 700 cm annually of only the finest champagne powder. Comfortable daytime temperatures average -5 C. Cold enough to keep the snow light and fluffy, yet perfect for skiing.
A longtime Silver Star resident, Baycroft also points to the combination of community spirit and the uncrowded atmosphere here as another major draw.
"Silver Star has a nice village feel to it. And because there's so much open space on the mountain there's never really a sense of animosity on the runs that you get at bigger, more crowded resorts. You're never cut off by a snowboarder," he says.
There's definitely little risk of running into an errant snowboarder on the more than 100 kilometres of meticulously groomed classic and skate trails that make up the recently combined Silver Star – Sovereign Lake cross country ski area. A favourite of Canadian Olympic champions Chandra Crawford and Becky Scott, this world class Nordic nirvana regularly hosts national team athletes from around the world as they train and prepare for international competition.
"We're the largest groomed trail system in Western Canada and second largest in the country," explains Nordic manager Guy Paulsen as we set out to ski Bridal Path, a 4.5-kilometre cross-country circuit. It's one of several loops easily accessible from Silver Star's ski-in, ski-out chalets and hotels.
Weaving through the 16 kilometres of snowshoe trails that run deep into the snow-clad forests of Silver Star's lower cross country network is another tranquil alternative to hitting the slopes.
"People who've been coming here for years for downhill skiing will finally try a snowshoe tour. And tell me they never dreamed this is what the forest looks like on the inside," says guide and resident naturalist Roseanne Van Ee as she leads me on my first ever snowshoe safari.

Several Ubuntu Xfce users have reported a delay when root graphical applications (ie launched with gksudo or gksu) ask for the password. The windows hang for several seconds, up to 40. I've noticed that even the clock stops ticking.
This bug is probably related to Xfce compositing manager, in particular the shadows under the popups.
The current workaround is to disable "Display shadows under popup windows" or launch the application with
gksudo -g.
man gksudo --disable-grab, -g Disable the "locking" of the keyboard, mouse, and focus done by the program when asking for password.
Edit 071124:
From the UF thread (see below), run
gksu-properties and disable
capture-mode. I've looked around, but does anyone have more infos about this workaround?

Stella looks good, and what a good, thorough review Colonel Panic cites. However, the boot time is a little too long for my taste. The leanness of Lubuntu makes things very zippy.
Though Stella has far better stock apps.
I've thinned Lubuntu even more, going with Midori 0.4.3 (0.4.7 got rid of its MenuBar for some reason) in place of Chromium.
Chromium allows so few visual adjustments to its GUI, it's ridiculous.

Not Linux but kind of cool to understand what will become of it?
Plasma Active 3
About Plasma Active
Plasma Active is openly developed Free software.
Its reference implementation builds on the Mer operating system
and runs on a number of devices, including popular x86-based
tablet computers and ARM-based hardware such as the Archos G9 series.
Maybe it is something I fail to get so I do welcome a big laugh LOL
if it is not what it did seem to my naive reading.

nooby, that's a great find. I've never heard of plasma active before. Wonder if it works with a physical keyboard, and does it have a working word processor?
I couldn't tell, though it does seem to have KDE PIMs, and KDE has a word processor, right?

Hehe I have no idea what it is . I am not that bright.
One guy somewhere on internet told that it had borrowed
from BSE and IOS and Android? but that it where independent
of these. Maybe he wanted to create a flame war and just teased?
I trust the links should have all info needed. Reading wikipedia
I got the impression it is just another overlay but that is not how
they present it is it. So I would love that someone really getting it
would explain if it is a new thing or not?
Haha I am a pessimist. There only exist one OS and that is Unix
and variations of Unix? Just teasing.
edit When I where much younger I had a CP/M computer
but the commands did look almost as twin to DrDOS or MsDOS
where these really that much different from Unix?

Distrowatch list a few new ones core17 one of them.
is that not an odd url? sites.google.com?
Live CD/USB linux bootable operating system, with persistency.
A distro which is a remaster. (remix, Spin-off) of Tiny Core Linux,
featuring Enlightenment (DR17) desktop environment.
Thread about it on Tiny Core forum since august
I have not looked there since a long long time
so I had no idea it even existed.
Those who develop TinyCore
are usually very cautious about any spin off
and have been very critical to such attempts
but wow august that is a long time and
his thread is still there so that guy must have
done something that they accept as okay to them?
So have any of you done a frugal install on NTFS
using core 17 or maybe it does only work on ext3?
Edit. I where wrong. He got in trouble with the TinyCore forum rules too.
Topic locked due to section forum rule.
« Reply #31 on: September 02, 2012, 01:54:09 AM »
So not sure what that means. Typical of TC forum to not explain
what it means.
Edit 2
Got it to boot on NTFS using the ntfs-3gz.gz something
But I find the E17 Enlighten to be slow on my Netbook
compared with the original Core-plus I write from Core Plus now
but don't understand much of it. I used maybe a crazy way to boot
I give details later have to reboot first.

Turing OS ?
Turing Linux is an operating system (OS) comprising a minimal base just sufficient to support VirtualBox (VB), providing quick access to other OSs. This is useful for teaching or learning GNU/Linux and for testing or exploring other OSs, without having to re-boot to switch between them. Multiple OSs can be run at the same time. It has 4 layers, ranging from the CLI-only core (and no VB), to core + GUI, to core + GUI + VB, to the enhanced layer which includes a few tools to make the distro usable for a few other basic common tasks (such as web browsing). Any of these layers could be used as a starting point for a new distro. Each layer also contains Remastersys which can be used to generate an ISO file of the current system.

Post subject: Technology is advancing. OSes are too.
Is it just me or has the community noticed the PCs that are being used by community members. They are using advance/current platforms which have much RAM and enormous CPU/MB capabilities.
This community may need to splinter into 2 groups: Those who have processors since 2006 with RAM all the way to 64GB, and, those who have pre-2006 PCs.
The distro developers must also continue to announce which class of PCs they are building and intend to support with their distros. The world of PCs have become much too broad.
And, lastly, even though I have publish little about it, KVM ability in CPUs have been around commonly since 2006. Maybe we'll need to splinter that off into "Virtual Puppy OS processing with KVM" and "Virtual OS processing without the assist feature".
We are approaching a time when we should begin to anticipate the coming wave of Touch implemented OSes that is changing what we do (whether we like it or not, change is ALWAYS met with resistance.....ALWAYS!!!)

Yes I get that I should be able to google KVM
but felt unsure about it. Maybe you can edit
your post to include some explanation?
Netbooks are rather new but they are often
only 1GB at most and cheaper CPU that is
one kernel instead of 2 or 4 and most likely
not KVM eitehr whatever that is.
But they are very new I bought my three 2009 and 2010?
and the oldest maybe 2008?
so will 2006 really help?
and another thing. Each time somebody tell Developers
to do something then we lose then and they almost never get back
so I would prefer that one always praise and cheer them and never
ever tell them what they should do. We can not afford to lose them
that carelessly.

not an ideal solution though

Manjaro Linux....... based on Arch and using k-3.4.9-1.
I'm giving that one a try now as I've been looking for a good Arch-based distro for a whole now (ArchBang wouldn't install on my machine for some reason).
It's fast and works well but for me the default theme is way too dark and it's difficult to lighten it (I couldn't find a way to change the top button bar, even though everything else could be altered).
A number of distros seem to be almost black by default now, including ArchBang and CrunchBang; maybe it's a fashion or something but for me it's not a good one as it looks bleak and it's damn difficult to see what you're doing on an old monitor..
@Jakfish; I agree about Chromium. I think its designers sacrificed everything else (including configurability) for speed.

Thanks, Surprise that that version of Bloathy produce ä and ö

Yes, oops! It must have selected the wrong keyboard when it loaded. Sorry to anyone who struggled to read my post. It's a good distro anyway even if I can't use it at home at the moment.
I'm testing out Solus and Saline at the moment, two distros based on Debian. Saline uses XFCE as its desktop manager whereas Solus uses Gnome 2 instead. I like the look of Saline a bit better (lovely wallpaper of a school of dolphins swimming underwater, for a start), but Solus comes with Firefox as standard whereas I couldn't find a way to install Firefox from the live disk, so Solus was the one I installed.
It's my first day of using it but already it looks very impressive.
A quick update here; I'm now testing Saline (1.7). It's one of the best looking distros I've used but unfortunately it only uses "free" aps (i.e. not firefox, opera etc.) and Iceweasel crashes on youtube sometimes so I installed Iceape instead. You have to install flash too (I used flashplugin-nonfree).
Otherwise it's working fine so far. I think Swift 2, based on Mint Debian, is less trouble though not as visually attractive (it doesn't really aim to be).

DistroWatch announce Slax 7.0
they write
Tomáš Matějíček has announced the availability of a public preview release of Slax 7.0, a Slackware-based live CD with KDE 4 in under 180 MB: "So here it is. A small lightweight KDE, recompiled with as few dependencies as possible. I've partially completed my battle with the KDE desktop environment. There is a lot of work waiting in the queue, since there are no applications yet except Konsole; however, it is ready for wider public testing.
now suppose you already have Porteus working in frugal install?
Would this code for grub4dos? work for Slax too frugal install
on NTFS?
title Porteus
kernel (hd0,1)/porteusboot/vmlinuz from_dir=porteus/ rw toroot xfce ramsize=60% root=/dev/ram0 fsck changes=/mnt/sda2/porteus12rc.dat copy2ram nocd noeject noswap
initrd (hd0,1)/porteusboot/initrd.xz
One would need to create Dir with slax instead but I mean is it same pattern
or does Slax have their own peculiar code?
Porteus is a modern Slax as I get it.

James C,..
VectorLinux has always been my all-time favorite for a "bigger" distro than Puppy (when I need a bigger distro than Puppy, that is...which isn't too often). However,....my VectorLinux 7 standard install CD seems to have gotten corrupted somehow. It no longer will install <alas>
I have just broke down and installed Slackware 14,....then used a LOT of the apps off of the VectorLinux CD to "flesh out" Slackware. Stuff like Opera,...Flash,...Win32 codecs,...and the Wine package, (from the Salix repositories). Seems to work fine.
Plus,...Doing a full install of Slackware,..with KDE and the KDEgames (then using just the smaller XFCE desktop)...gives me the games for my grandson,....but a smaller DE for me. But I
prefer VectorLinix over Slackware.

Shipping: I ship almost all of my pieces via USPS Priority Mail, insured, signature required. The signature is required for insurance. Most items in the lower 48 arrive in 2-3 days. If you are not concerned about insurance (if it is damaged and not insured you have no recourse) and a speedy delivery, ask me to ship it the cheapest way in the order comments. I will gladly refund the difference between what you paid and what it costs. Typically the difference is $5 to $10 dollars less.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — For 30 years, Ken Burns has found the Roosevelt family "irresistible."
Various members of the political dynasty have popped up in the filmmaker's projects on America's national parks, Prohibition and the Civil War. Now, Burns shines a spotlight on the family itself in "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History," a 14-hour film debuting Sept. 14 on PBS. It will run for seven consecutive nights.
The series covers Theodore's birth in 1858 to Eleanor's death in 1962. In between, Theodore was elected president and his niece Eleanor married her fifth cousin, Franklin, who became president.
"I don't know a film that has been more satisfying to me," Burns said Tuesday at the summer TV critics' press tour. "This is a fairly complex narrative. We're asking questions: What is the role of government, what is the nature of leadership?"
For the film, Burns interviewed his longtime collaborator Geoffrey Ward , an authority on Franklin Roosevelt . Ward was emotionally invested in the topic, having had polio when he was 9, like FDR.
"That particular subject got me," Ward said. "I went to the interview absolutely determined my old friend Ken wasn't going to get me emotional, and he got me in three questions."
Ward has spent 30 years writing about the Roosevelts, and he wanted to tell a family story in the series.
"They all talked about each other all the time and resented each other and loved each other," he said. "There is love and betrayal and distrust, and what it means to belong to a great family."
Each episode will be repeated the night of its original airing, and there will be a daytime marathon on the weekend of Sept. 20-21. All episodes will be available for streaming the day after the first episode airs.

A young American solider loses his illusions after he sees the people his sergeant defines as the "enemy" — an old woman and babies "crying on the mud roads"
My public library has been using Walter Dean Myers's Patrol: An American Soldier in Vietnam (HarperCollins, 32 pages, $16.89, ages 8 and up) in a summer reading program, and I picked it up thinking I might review it along with last week's Alpha Bravo Charlie. But it deserves a post of its own, and not just because it reflects a collaboration between the much-admired Myers and Caldecott Honor artist Ann Grifalconi. Patrol might look like a book for preschoolers, albeit with an unusual theme: a soldier's frightening first patrol in Vietnam. But it's an anti-war story for older children. Nobody dies or gets hurt when a young radio operator and his squad take cover during a firefight. But the soldier loses his illusions about war after facing unsettling events, such as having to "secure" a village. He sees the people his sergeant defines as "the enemy": "A brown woman with rivers of age etched deeply into her face. / An old man, his eyes heavy with memory. / And babies. Babies. / Little enemies crying on the mud roads." In other words, Patrol is for children who can handle irony and emotionally difficult material, but some of them may feel too old for a 32-page picture book. So it might best used as an aid to a structured discussion in a classroom, youth group or pacifist family with 8-to-12-year-olds. Patrol may deal with Vietnam. But if the U.S. leaves Iraq, adults may wonder how to explain that move to children, and Myers and Grifalconi have given them some help.

Furthermore: Patrol won a Jane Addams Children's Book Award from the Jane Addams Peace Association. He lives in New Jersey.

We were on the range Tuesday at the PGA Tour's second playoff event, the Deutsche Bank Championship. We were not only checking in with our FootJoy players but also set up a large display to show them the full line of FJ ICON styles and all the options available through the MyJoys program. In short, the players were thrilled! Check out the pictures from Wednesday and we'll post video next week so you can hear what players such as David Toms, Charley Hoffman, John Merrick and Jason Bohn think of FootJoy's new flagship product and all the custom options!

Webelos Scout Program
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Webelos Activity Badges (Pins) in 12, 15 or 18 months.
Webelos Scouts who start in 5th grade can still cross over to a troop in December.
The Webelos Scout Program prepares boys who have completed third grade or are age 10 but have not yet completed fifth grade or reached age 11 1/2 to bridge into a troop. Pronounced "WEE-buh-los", the word "Webelos" means WE'll BE LOyal Scouts. After earning the Bobcat badge, a boy may earn the Webelos Badge and Arrow of Light Award. Shorter Webelos Scout Programs are available for Webelos who start in fifth grade to earn their Arrow of Light in as little as six months.
The Webelos Program is more challenging than Lion, Tiger, Wolf, and Bear programs for younger Cub Scouts. Webelos Scouts take part in Cub Scout pack meetings and activities as well as Webelos den meetings, activities, and outdoor fun. Webelos Scouts can earn Webelos & Arrow of Light Adventure Pins at any time. The Webelos uniform has eight parts (seven required, one optional).
|— Webelos Cub Scout Handbook, pg. 4
Webelos Den MeetingWebelos Scouts work on one of 20 Webelos Activity Badges "during their weekly den meetings". The Webelos Scout learns the skill, practices it, and brings work to den meetings to show others. The Webelos Den Leader or Activity Badge Counselor, rather than a parent, approves most of the activity badges. Webelos families can sign off requirements as authorized by the Webelos Den Leader. The Fast Tracks provide plans for each den meeting. (See: Advancement}
Webelos Camping
Webelos Scouts camp as dens, at joint den-troop campouts, and at Webelos Resident Camp (See: Outdoor Program}:
- Webelos Scout-and-parent overnight den campouts are under the leadership of the Webelos den leader.
- Den-Troop campouts strengthen ties between the pack and a troop.
- Webelos Resident Camp is a summer camp tailored for their program.
Webelos Program Notes
- The Webelos Activity Badge Worksheets let the Den Leader verify that each Webelos Scout completed each requirement.
- The worksheets also allow families to track homework requirements for badges such as: Family Member, Fitness and Handyman.
- The Webelos Badge requires at least 3 month active participation, Fitness, Citizen, and one other activity badge.
- The Webelos Arrow of Light Award can be earned in December of the Fifth grade year allowing cross over that month to Boy Scouts.
- By bridging (transferring to a Troop) in 18 months, boys have the chance to participate in troop activities and fundraising before their first Boy Scout Summer Camp.
- The Bridging Ceremony (or "Cross over") is typically held later, often in February at the Pack's Blue and Gold Banquet.
- Webelos Scout can earn Cub Scout Belt Loops & Pins even if they had earned them previously.
Webelos Who Start in Fourth Grade
Adapted from the Webelos Leader Guide
- These plans allow active Webelos who start in the fourth grade to:
- Earn the Webelos Badge in as little as 3 months
- Earn the Arrow of Light in as little as 6 months
- Earn to all 20 Webelos Activity Badges in either the 18- or 15-month program using the Fast Tracks.

- Earn Activity Badges (pins) by also working on their own.
The Bridging Ceremony (or "Cross over") is typically held later, often in February at the Pack's Blue and Gold Banquet.
Fourth and Fifth Grade Webelos in One Den
Smaller Packs may not have enough Webelos 1 (fourth-graders) or Webelos 2 (fifth-graders) to have two separate Webelos Dens. In this case, the recommendation is to have a single Webelos den but offer two programs at the same time. The fourth-graders complete their Webelos 1 content as shown above while the fifth-graders complete their Webelos 2 content.
Webelos Who Start in Fifth Grade
Adapted from the Webelos Leader Guide
- This plans allows active Webelos who start in the fifth grade to:

- The plan for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints allows 10-year-old Scouts to:
