HELP FOR WEBELOS LEADERS

179 Is always looking to help out when needed. We have some youth willing to serve as Den Chiefs. We can come to your Den Meetings and teach a particular Scout Skill or just talk to your Webelos about why they should become a Scout. We put on several Webelos Adventure badges every Fall season. We are home to the original Webelosfest celebrating 32 years of Webelosfest Camping. We also hosts Open Houses for your Scouts and Parents to come to a meeting and see the fun first hand!

You are welcome at any regular meeting to come and see what Scouting is all about. We meet most every Tuesday during the school year, 7:15 to 9:00, at the First Presbyterian Church of Farmington or on ZOOM. Check our calendar to see our schedule of meetings. Please send an email to our Membership Chair, John Klehm (jklehm@comcast.net) so that we know your coming. While at our meeting you will see how the troop and crew operate as we prepare for our next adventure.

You can also go camping with us prior to joining to make sure that 179 will be right for you. Just ask John and he will get the details for you to help get you signed up to go.

SPECIAL RECRUITING ACTIVITIES

Webelosfest is an outdoor weekend designed to introduce youth to our programs and many of the skills that are used by our Scouts monthly. Webelosfest is open to all Webelos, AOL Scouts and any 5th grade youth regardless of whether they have been a Cub Scout or not. Click HERE for more information.

Webelos Adventures are Den Meetings and activities ran by the 179 Venturers and designed to help you with earning some Webelos and Arrow of Light Adventures. In November we will tackle the Webelos Walkabout and the AOL Outdoor Adventure. I December we're on to the Webelos First Responder and the AOL Scouting Adventure. All adventures are held on two ZOOM meeting nights and at the 179 Adventure Day at Heritage Park.

They meet with an older Scout and all questions are answered.
