Boy Scouts of America® Istrouma Area Council

2021 NG Webelos Woods

 

WHY WEBELOS WOODS?

Nawaganti District offers one of the best Scouting experiences in all of Istrouma Area Council.  Our Cub Scouts experience wonderful activities, but few are exposed to the fun that Scouting under the Patrol Method offers. Webelos Woods is designed to allow Webelos and Arrow of Lights to experience what it is like to camp and act under the Patrol Method with older Scouts guiding and leading the way. 

Webelos Woods also gives participating older Scouts the opportunity to share the skills they have learned with younger scouts, as while improving their leadership and camping skills while also providing fellowship and positive role modeling.  This event has been planned and will be carried out by Eagle Scouts and experienced older Scouts from the Troops in Nawaganti District.  Scoutmasters will be onsite to provide guidance and oversight, however, the Scouts will run each of the activities.

Webelos/AOLs will camp with their dens for the weekend much like a Patrol in a Scouts BSA troop. Parents/adults will camp separately, observing while allowing the youth to participate in the event.  On Saturday the Scouts will work with and train Webelos/AOLs on the various skills and activities.
