Camp Phillips

All Webelos 1, Arrow of Light Scouts and Scout Troops are Encoraged to Attend!

All Troops and Dens MUST pre-register.

What Is It:  WEBELOS Woods is an outdoor and over-night program designed to introduce WEBELOS & Arrow of Light Scouts and their parents to a variety of ScoutsBSA activities. It helps make the transition into ScoutsBSA more exciting. The weekend is filled with fun activities, intriguing demonstrations, and plenty of outdoor excitement. WEBELOS/Arrow of Light dens will rotate through a variety of activity stations staffed by ScoutsBSA Troops. Scouts explain, demonstrate, guide, and enable the WEBELOS/Arrow of Light to work on Scout skills and play outdoor games.

An emphasis is put on hands-on activities. ScoutsBSA Troops may check in between 7-9pm on Friday night or 8-8:45am on Saturday morning, and WEBELOS should check in between 8-8:45am on Saturday morning.

Who Can Participate:  All WEBELOS and Arrow of Light Scouts, their parents, and leaders are invited to participate in the weekend event. ScoutsBSA Troops are highly encouraged to attend to staff an activity station and to host a Camp Site.

Where:  The event is held at Camp Phillips (ScoutsBSA Camp) at LE Phillips Scout Reservation.
Activity stations will be held in the main areas of Camp. On Saturday night, WEBELOS and WEBELOS Adults have the opportunity to camp in a Boy Scout Campsite with a Host Troop. WEBELOS/Arrow of Light and their adults sleep in cabins or they can use their own tents. Scout Troops bring their own tents to use in their assigned campsite.
