Let’s Camp Webelos!

Hey Webelos parents!

These kids have been working so hard to complete adventures toward their Webelos rank!

Since we have family camp coming up this weekend, I just wanted to share the requirements for the camping elective for this rank. It’s optional, but would be fun for the kids to earn. I will post the requirements below, and if your scout decides to complete them, please let me know. 

Also, if anyone’s scouts want help learning bowlines and a teepee fire lay, I will have Mr. Chris from the Wolf den teach us. while we’re camping.

Please reach out if you have any questions!

Requirement 1

With your den, pack, or family, plan and participate in a campout.

Requirement 2

Upon arrival at the campground, determine where to set up a tent.

Requirement 3

Set up your tent without help from an adult.

Requirement 4

Identify a potential weather hazard that could occur in your area.  Determine the action you will take if you experience the weather hazard during the campout.

Requirement 6

Know the fire safety rules.  Using those rules, locate a safe area to build a campfire.

Requirement 7

Using tinder, kindling, and fuel wood, properly build a teepee fire lay.  If circumstances permit, and there is no local restriction on fires, show how to safely light the fire while under adult supervision. After allowing the fire to burn safely, extinguish the flames with minimal impact to the fire site.

After your campout, share the things you did to follow the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles for Kids with your den or family.
