Webelos Woods is
designed to give first and second year Webelos Scouts and their
parents a preview of the Boy Scouting experience. The program
reinforces Boy Scouting values, procedures, methods and
skills. It is an introduction to Boy Scouts being a "boy
led" program versus the "adult led" program used in
Cub Scouts. Also, there is the thrill of camping in the
outdoors at a Boy Scout style camp, which will foster a desire to
continue Scouting. This is an excellent time for each troop to
show the Webelos in its area what the troop does and to recruit new
scouts for the troop. Likewise, this is an excellent time for
Webelos to visit with a variety of troops from your area, and learn
which troop may be the best to join. This year Webelos Woods was
held at Butte Creek.
