This weekend will be our new Scout campout for all of our new boys that have bridged over. This weekend they will be working on rank requirements and their Scout skills with a few of our older Life and Star Scouts and adult leaders. The boys will learn about an ax yard and learn some fire building skills as well. This campout makes the transition from being a Webelo to a Boy Scout a little smoother while having some fun.
While the boys are enjoying their fun, I have a chance to help their parents make the transition also to help them learn about a boy run troop, patrol method, answer questions and go over the gear their boys will need to get started. This is also a great time for all of us to get to know each other. At the end of the day we have our campfire and enjoy stories, songs and skits.
