2018 Webelos Summer Resident Camp

Webelos Camp has much to offer your Scout this summer!  This program is offered as a “round-robin” format, so that all Scouts will have the chance to experience each area of camp while working on the adventures awaiting!  With emphasis on having fun and enjoying camp, they will earn requirements often without realizing they are learning! Free time is scheduled so that they can return to an area they already enjoy or venture out to explore a new area of camp, with guidance of course!
