This brand-new opportunity is for 4th and 5th Grader Webelos Cub Scouts, to learn what Scouts BSA is all about, while meeting other Scouts from not only Lake Minnetonka District but also encompassing the other 5 surrounding Districts.
The event is scheduled for Nov 1-3 at Stearns Scout Camp. The vision for the weekend is to showcase the Scouts BSA program to Webelos and their parents through being an active member of a patrol on a weekend Scouts BSA campout. Through this, the aim of the weekend is to:
- Increase Webelos retention in Scouts BSA by showcasing the Scouts BSA program and modeling Scouts BSA by older youth and adults to help ease transition anxiety and increase excitement
- Improve Pack / Troop relations by giving Troops the opportunity to form relationships with Pack members and recruit Webelos.
On the weekend campout, the Webelos will form patrols of a larger newly formed Scouts BSA Troop. Each Webelos patrol will be led by an experienced Scouts BSA youth. The patrols will work together and play in a fun outdoor setting. In a separate program, the parents will learn about the fundamentals of Scouts BSA and how it differs from Cub Scouts, to give them a better understanding of Scouts BSA as they transition to the Troop.
