Troops, Crews, and Volunteers  

Webelos Woods and AOL Adventures is a wonderful opportunity for Troops and Crews to inspire Cub Scouts to crossover into a Scouts BSA program, as well as advertising your own Unit! We are asking that each Unit who attends to staff a Scout Skills Station and create a flyer /handout highlighting the important and fun aspects of their Troop. Troops will arrive on Friday Night at 6 pm. All Troops will then meet together that evening at 7:30 pm to go over the event and prepare their stations. Troop or Crew register your adults as "Troop Adults" and your youth as "BSA Youth". Everyone who will be attending needs to register before September 6th at midnight!

Each adult and youth volunteer should register by September 6th. This will allow us to get an accurate count for food and campsites. There will be a cost of $10 per person to cover the cost of food. If this is a point of stress or issue for anyone please reach out to Rachael.weaver@scouting.org. 

For this event your Troop will be provided with a Campsite and meals (beginning with a light cracker barrel on Friday night, through Breakfast on Sunday). Your Troop will need to provide qualified supervision and meet Youth Protection Standards within your campsite.
