Webelos Weekend 2008

by Kyle

Webelos Weekend took place on the weekend of 6-8 December, 2008.  This campout, along with several others throughout the year, took place at Nobscot.  Scouts slept in tents and Webelos were hosted in a cabin near the campsite.  This campout was fun and at the same time beneficial to the troop.  Scouts arrived at Nobscot early in the morning to set up the huge campsite that we had.  Once scouts finished setting up the basics like the tents and getting water, they organized into groups to plan a fun assortment of games that the Webelos would get to play.  The games are usually the same every year.  There was a monkey bridge and stilts and even a game where Webelos try to light matches stuck in a log with a hatchet.  This year we had a small number of Webelos, however it was still a blast.  The games went on for about 2-3 hours in the early to late afternoon.  While the games were going on a group of scouts helped prepare the trademark of this campout, the turkey dinner.  It was a feast, there were potatoes, stuffing, turkey and bread (Huge clean up).  Once everyone was finished eating there was a campfire where scouts performed skits for the Webelos.  After that there was desert and people started lingering around the fire and slowly started drifting off to bed.  In the morning the Webelos went home and the scouts cleaned everything up.  It was not that large of a job because all of the games had been put away once people stopped playing them the previous day.  All in all it was a great campout.
