The Webelos will camp, eat, play, learn, and have fun with the Scouts the entire weekend. The weekend will be packed with activities including Into the woods, Into the wild, knot tying, cooking, first aid, archery, BB Gun, patrol games, flag ceremonies, and a campfire program. Many of the skills that will be taught can be used to fulfill adventure requirements.
Service Hours Reporting
A Scout does a good turn daily and helps other people at all times. The Scouts in our district are prime examples of these practices. Please take some time and log your service hours and show just what all our Scouts did for their community this year! To log service hours you will need your unit ID (you can get from your Scout Center) and see below for more information:
