SWC Beads
Is it all about the beads?
(Answer: Yes & No)

Legend of the Beads of SWC
There
are many traditions that have grown and flourished at SWC. One of these has been awarding
colored beads for achievements, participation in SWC
events, games and roles. Through the years, the beads have not been
consistent. However in recent times the attempt has been made to standardize
this tradition.
Some patrols plan and
fight fiercely for the beads. Others come to relax and hangout and have a good
time. But whether one has a few or many each year, it's always a good time to
share Scouting with others.
As you examine the SWC necklace
of others, use this legend to learn what each represents. Just understand, this standard has
not been long enforced and you may see weird colored beads that were given out
in some years past.
