EVENT Webelos Woods is a Boy Scout level camping event, where Webelos Scouts are invited to spend the weekend in a Boy Scout led environment. The purpose of the Webelos Woods camping weekend is to showcase the Boy Scout tenants of a Boy-Led Troop and the Patrol Method of Scouting.

There are dumpsters by the Ranger Station House for the disposal of your trash. Please compact trash as much as possible so as not to overfill the dumpsters too quickly. 7

DAMAGES Any damage to SHAC Property, Staff area tents, equipment, or other items will be the financial responsibility of the Den Leader. TREES Attendees are not to cut down or cut branches from any live trees. There are many young trees that have been planted in recent years so that others who follow us will have shade and protection.

UNIFORM All Webelos Scouts and Adult Leaders should have their Class A Uniforms; either the khaki or dark blue version (Scouts only). The uniform should be worn while traveling to and from Webelos Woods and Saturday Night for Campfire and Arrow of Light Ceremonies. This is particularly required for those planning to receive their Arrow of Light. During the activity sessions on Saturday a Class B Shirt (Cub Scout or Webelos T-shirt) may be worn. 10

It is several miles to the nearest store, but available if needed. Remember that January weather in the Houston area is quite unpredictable so ensure that your Den is properly prepared for warm, cool, and wet weather. See list at end of manual. INSECTS AND POISONOUS PLANTS As always, be prepared to defend yourselves against mosquitoes, chiggers, and ticks. You should also come prepared to treat fire ant bites and poison ivy. MEAL SUGGESTIONS It s strongly encouraged to practice Patrol Method Meal Planning and Duty Responsibilities at this event. Your Den/Pack should plan to cook and clean as a Group. Please see Camp Menu/Duty Roster within this Guide to help plan for this Event. The Friday night meal, as individual Scout Families, should be prepared in advance and brought from home or purchased in-route. The Saturday morning meal should be a warm meal suitable to get the Scouts through a long and tiring day. The Saturday lunch should be a light meal requiring minimal preparation, as the lunch period time is limited. The Saturday evening meal should be a warm meal. Sunday morning should be an easy clean-up meal cold meal using foods that don't need continuous refrigeration, as it is often difficult to keep food cold this long in an ice chest. 11

DEN SITE EVALUATION Each Den/Pack camping area will be inspected during daylight hours on Saturday by the Service Troop. Please see Campsite Inspection Form within this Guide that will be used for grading. The Den/Pack receiving the highest Grade will be recognized and awarded at the Saturday night campfire. WEATHER All Dens must be fully prepared for the weather conditions typical for this time of the year. It will rain, shine, be sunny, and cold all in the same weekend. Please bring enough clothing to be as comfortable as possible. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FIRE Sound alarm by yelling FIRE and notify Camp Management immediately. Local fire authorities will be called to fight the fire. Because of the age of the Scouts, it is not recommended that any firefighting action take place. Remove yourself and others from harm s way and notify Camp Staff. Move Cubs and family members to a safe location away from fire danger, usually in the parking lot in front of the campsite. Ensure that all members of your unit are accounted for and that they remain together and calm. In an emergency, the central alarm will be sounded (siren blown continuously for 3 minutes) to warn camp. Camp Staff personnel will be dispatched to campsites to give further instructions. Be prepared to mobilize to a safe location. 3 short blasts of the siren will signal the all clear. A radio announcement will also communicate the all clear. THUNDERSTORMS OR TORNADOES When threatening weather occurs, all persons in campsites should go to the nearest restroom building or their vehicles (lighting only). All persons in a program area should move to the nearest building or structure. 12

TRAIN There is a train that passes near Bovay several times during the night. It is required by law to blow its whistle at every grade crossing (intersection with a road). Foam ear plugs tend to dampen the intensity of the whistle, potentially permitting the wearer a more restful night. ACTIVITIES There will be separate tracks for Webelos (4th grade) and AOL Webelos (5th grade). There will be a total of 7 events for each Rank level. If you are the Den Leader for a mixed Den, the whole Den should register and participate as a group. Whether the Den participates in the WEBELOS I circuit or the WEBELOS II circuit is the choice of the Den Leader, who has the best knowledge of his/her boys. All Webelos will participate in activities with the Den in which they are registered. No individual Webelos should be wandering the area beyond the main camping and Events areas. During program sessions, all Webelos should be with their Den in their assigned session. To reduce the amount of walking required and conserve time between activity sessions, groups of Dens will move together from one session to the next, and all sessions will be arranged for easy movement. Rotation Assignments will be distributed at Check-in, Patrol Leaders Conference, and during morning announcements. The Webelos Woods program offers a variety of popular activities from previous Do-Your-Best and Day Camp functions in the District. Some sessions will include specific Activity Badge work in a "show-and-do format", while others will introduce the Webelos Scouts to skills useful in the Boy Scout program. Although some of these sessions will involve Activity Badge work and correspond to Activity Badge requirements, the Webelos Woods Instructors WILL NOT sign-off any Webelos Scout requirements. The responsibility and authority solely rests on the Groups Den Leader. 13

Arrow of Light Ceremonies Registration is required for any AOL Webelos Scout that wants to participate in and receive his Arrow of Light recognition at Webelos Woods. The Scout does not have to participate in the Webelos Woods program during the day on Saturday, nor does he need to camp on either day. Arrows will be provided as part of the ceremony Individual / Personalized Arrows provided by the Scout CANNOT be used within the ceremony. NOTE: ALL ARROW OF LIGHT CANDIDATES WILL RECEIVE A COLORED WRISTBAND FROM THEIR PACK DESIGNATED LEADER. THIS WRISTBAND WILL DESIGNATE WHICH ARROW OF LIGHT CEREMONY YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED TOO. IF A SCOUT WAS NOT REGISTERED FOR THIS EVENT, HE CANNOT BE ADDED AFTER REGISTRATION CLOSES. ARROWS ARE PURCHASED AND CALLOUTS/CEREMONY ASSIGNMENTS ARE DONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER REGISTRATION CLOSES. The Arrow of Light Ceremony is the pinnacle of a Cub Scout s experience. We invite all family and friends to participate in this event. Guests do not need to register in order to attend, however they must check-in at the Registration Desk in the Headquarters Building. Guests will be allowed access into the campsite starting at 4:15PM Saturday night and they will need to depart by 10:00PM. These Guest CANNOT camp overnight under any circumstances. 14
