Webelos Saturday program

We are putting together a Boy Scout-led program for the Webelos this year and we are very excited. The program will take place at Camp Reeves, which is a 45-minute hike from Camp Durant. The Webelos will be organized into patrols led by Boy Scout troop guides. They will hike along Water Line Road, along with the adults who will accompany them. EACH WEBELO NEEDS TO HAVE A WATER BOTTLE WITH HIM. The total number of Webelos registered for the Cuboree will be divided into three groups. The first group will leave Camp Durant at 8 AM from the front of the Grand Lodge, the second group will leave at 8:30 and the third group will leave at 9 AM. Upon their arrival, each Webelos Scout will create his foil pouch lunch. Following their lunch preparation, the other activities at Camp Reeves will include BB guns, woodburning their hiking sticks, create a water bottle carrier using jug knots, and activity stations engineered by the Boy Scouts. The three groups of patrols will depart Camp Reeves at staggered times - the first group will leave at

2:30, the second group will leave at 3:00, and the third group will leave at 3:30. This should guarantee that all the Webelos will be reunited with the their families and other members of their packs by 4:30, allowing plenty of time for clean-up and preparation for dinner. The Webelos will then be at Camp Durant for the remainder of the Cuboree activities. Please contact Scott Crouch at [email protected] if you have any questions. Any questions: David Hooper
