Deception Pass Webelos Outreach

November 21-22, 2009

This outing is one that our troop organizes every year to provide an outreach to the Packs in the area around our Troop. Webelos I and II dens are both invited - we even cover the camping fee and serve up dinner Saturday night!  A few of the Webelos activity badges and Arrow of Light requirements demand visiting a Boy Scout troop or going on an outing with a troop. That is what our annual Deception Pass outing is all about.

We reserve group campsites for this event. We also talk to the Park Ranger about performing a small 1-2 hour service/conservation project as well - which Webelos might need for one of their requirements. Our Scout leadership also plans some stations that help teach Webelos some fun outdoor camping skills, play some games, have an evening campfire program, etc. Its always a lot of fun! Plus, dens are encouraged to spend the night too. Sunday morning after breakfast, our Boy Scouts lead an interfaith service or "Scouts Own" service and then we break camp. Time and weather permitting, we then head down to Fort Casey to explore the fort and play capture the flag -- always a big highlight of the weekend!

Our troop's goal for this is to try to put on a program that Webelos would enjoy and help give them a better taste and feel for what Boy Scouts are all about. Hopefully, when it comes time for them to bridge over, this will be one small way that our Troop can help to increase the number of Cub Scouts in our area that decide to continue on to one of the Boy Scout Troops in our area.

Here are some useful planning documents for our Webelos guests
