Our older Scouts are gearing up for the jump to Scouts BSA! This special campout is tailored specifically for Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts to take on bigger trails, build outdoor leadership skills, practice patrol-style camping, and experience real backcountry adventure.
Because this weekend features longer, more rugged trail hikes and focused rank-advancement activities, attendance is restricted strictly to Webelos, AOLs, and their parents/guardians.
Cost is TBD, but will likely be around $20 per person.
🥾 The Big Hike: A 3–5 mile trek navigating elevation, trail markers, and scenic overlooks.
🔥 Fire Craft & Outdoor Cooking: Scouts practice building fires safely and cooking patrol-style meals.
🧭 Navigation & Orienteering: Map and compass work out on the trail.
⛺ Patrol Independence: Scouts take charge of their campsite setup, duty roster, and Leave No Trace principles.
🌌 Saturday Night Campfire: Skits, songs, rank advancements, and Dutch oven cobbler under the stars.
Friday: Meet up at 5:00 PM at Ogle then begin the Caravan to the park. Plenty of daylight and sunset is not until 8 pm. Dinner is bring-your-own sack dinner with snacks in the car. We will arrive at camp after 8 pm and set up camp. No campfire on the first night.
