Webelos Let’s Camp
Webelos Let’s Camp, a Webelos Elective Adventure
The Webelos Cub Scout handbook says,”There’s nothing like the great outdoors! In this Adventure, you will get the chance to plan and participate in a campout or other outdoor activity. You’ll learn how to be prepared for extreme weather events, and you’ll also demonstrate how to leave no trace when you’re outdoors.”
Read on for the requirements and ideas you can use to complete them.
Requirements:
- With your den, pack, or family, plan and participate in a campout.
- Upon arrival at the campground, determine where to set up a tent.
- Set up a tent without help from an adult.
- Identify a potential weather hazard that could occur in your area. Determine the action you will take if you experience the weather hazard during the campout.
- Show how to tie a bowline. Explain when this knot should be used and why.
- Know the fire safety rules. Using those rules, locate a safe area to build a campfire.
- Using tinder, kindling, and fuel wood, properly build a teepee fire lay. If circumstances permit and there is no local restriction on fires, show how to safely light the fire while under adult supervision. After allowing the fire to burn safely, extinguish the flames with minimal impact to the fire site.
- Recite the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles for Kids from memory.
- After your campout, share the things you did to follow the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles for Kids with your den or family.
