Nanapashamet Lodge - Patch - Order of the ArrowWEBELOS WOODS

2008 Webelos Woods

Saturday, May 10

Lone Tree Scout Reservation

Information & Leader's Guide - Registration Form

Hosted by the NANEPASHEMET LODGE Order of the Arrow

A fun filled day at Lone Tree Scout Reservation for 1st Year Webelos, their parents and leaders.

A Webelos Scout is at the point of transition into the Boy Scout ranks. Webelos Woods, developed by the OA, is designed to demonstrate and teach important basic Scouting and leadership skills.

Webelos Woods is a weekend staffed by experienced OA lodge members who provide a supervised, exciting and vigorous program.  Learning basic knots, fire building, cooking, camping, and other Scoutly topics serves as a place to incorporate teamwork and fellowship. Hands on activities and games encourage the Webelos to put their heads together and their hands together to make light work and problem solve.

The day ends with a camp wide game such as a scavenger hunt and relay race, bringing Packs and Dens together to make use of some of their newly acquired skills. Teamwork, brotherhood, Scout spirit, and most importantly, fun make for a great start in their Boy Scout endeavors. Webelos Woods introduces the concept of the "youth led" as opposed to an "adult led" Scouting program.

Webelos Woods is more about fun than advancement. We highly encourage you credit your Webelos towards advancement requirements where appropriate. It is up to your Den and Pack Leaders to determine if your Webelos have completed requirements outlined in the Webelos Scout Book. We will give you a list of requirements they may have met at this event.

Examples of Program areas: Exploration of Wild Animals, Fire building, Gunslingin’ Safety, Extreme Inventions, Tribal Dancing, Hunting for Tracks, Games! Games! And more Games!!! To name a few.

Food Arrangements: You are responsible for your own lunch. We recommend that you bring a bagged lunch. We will provide drinks (bug juice, Indian water etc.) Please make sure all of your Webelos are prepared. Time will not allow for cooking a meal.

In order to enable us to plan for everyone, please pre-register!

Handicap parking will be available at the camp. Parking will be on site.

Arrival at Lone Tree starts at 8:00 am. Please advise your scouts and parents that they should anticipate on arriving no later than 8:45 am, so that they will be ready to go by the start of the program at 9:00 am. The program will end at approx 3:30 pm.
