First Year Webelos Program

“Put Action in Action Camp”

As Webelos, you will be participating in stations where you will challenge yourself and each other “Scouting Style” by learning and using skills that will be needed for future Scouting adventures. You may be timed, required to work as a team, and dared to improve yourself.

Webelos Action will include:

• BB Gun Shooting
• Archery
• “Stronger, Faster, Higher” Adventure activities
• Knot Tying
• Shelter Building
• “Walkabout” Adventure activities
• Fire Building
  • Cub Scouts are asked to please bring a fire-starting ignition source other than matches or lighter i.e. flint and steel or fero rod and striker if the Scout already has one.
• First Responder – visit from EMT
• “Bobcat” activities

Webelos will face these challenges at the VAC Adventure Base.

Arrow of Light Program

A Trip to Scout Island

Arrow of Light Scouts will put their outdoor skills to the test as they prepare for a canoe trip to Scout Island in the BWCAW!

We will set the stage for a high adventure trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of northern Minnesota. The Scouts will be challenged to think about their needs during a canoe trip. They will engage in hands-on opportunities to build specific skills related to camping in the wilderness, including what to do when things don’t go according to plan. We will use the EDGE method (Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, and Enable) to teach and practice skills that are widely used during Scouts BSA Troop campouts. There will be some twists and turns, so AOL Scouts will need to think outside the box as they problem solve their way through the stations, completing each task needed for a successful trip to Scout Island.

AOL skill challenges will include learning and practicing the following:

• Building an Emergency Shelter/Signaling
• Fire Building
• Purifying Water
• Hanging a Bear Bag/Knot Tying
• Canoeing
• Packing a Backpack
• BB Guns

** Canoeing will be part of the AOL adventure. Please have your AOL’s swim tested prior to the event and turn in completed swim test form at ckeck in.**Personal Flotation Device Required**** If you don’t have a lifejacket, one will be provided**

This AOL adventure will take place on the grounds of Camp Horace Johnson.

A lunch will be provided as part of our programming. Be prepared… for a great adventure in scouting!
