At our Tuesday Meetings (September 24 and October 1) we will prepare for our weekend camp. AOLs will form Patrols of 6–10 Scouts. Each Patrol will be led by a Troop Guide from Troop 179, who will help Scouts choose a patrol name, elect a Patrol Leader, create a patrol flag, develop a patrol yell, complete Bobcat requirements, and begin working on the Outdoor Adventure. Along the way, Scouts will discover how a Scouts BSA troop camps, cooks, and works together.
At Camp With Your Patrol — Each new AOL Patrol will set up camp alongside Troop 179 patrols. Patrols will be issued camping and cooking equipment including a dining fly and a complete patrol kitchen. Throughout the weekend you'll camp, cook, and work together just like a Scouts BSA patrol.
Rope Work — Learn practical Scout skills by tying the Square Knot, Two Half-Hitches, and Taut-line Hitch. Scouts will also learn how to whip and fuse rope for outdoor use.
Fire Building — Learn how to safely build a fire area, identify tinder, kindling, and fuel, and practice traditional Scout fire-building techniques. Each Patrol will build and light a cooking fire for lunch.
Land Navigation — Discover how to use a compass, follow bearings, and complete a fun beginner compass challenge.
AVAILABLE FOR ALL WEBELOS CUB SCOUTS
Webelos Walkabout Adventure — During the morning, Webelos Scouts will work on the Webelos Walkabout Adventure. Scouts will learn how to prepare for a hike, discuss hiking safety, practice first aid for common trail injuries, and complete a two-mile hike through the beautiful trails at Camp.
