Webelos Camp

Webelos camp consists of two separate tracks; one for Webelos, and one for Arrow of Light Scouts. When possible, our Pack sends both Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts to camp together.

Webelos Camp is a 3-day, 2-night adventure. Our Pack meets at Lee's Summit Christian Church at 10:00 am and caravans to Camp Naish together since we are required to check in together as a Pack. We will depart from the church promptly at 10:30 am. Scouts should pack a lunch to eat in the car while waiting in line for check-in. The check-in lines can be LONG.

Once you arrive at camp, you will park your car and carry your camping gear to the campsite. It is quite an extensive walk and we highly recommend bringing a sturdy cart to help carry all your gear. 

Be sure to pack a water bottle as you will need to stay hydrated during your time at camp.

The program runs from 12:00 pm on Day 1 through 9:00 pm, a very full day for the Scouts. There are outhouse facilities at the campsites and showers at the pool house. Showers are push-button showers and the water comes out very fast and sometimes quite hot, be prepared. We recommend that all Scouts take a shower before bed to cool down and prepare for a good night's sleep. Call to quarters is at 9:45 pm and all Webelos must be in their campsites by that time. Taps is at 10:00 pm.

Day 2 begins with a flag raising and breakfast at 7:25 am and continues through 9:30 pm. Taps is at 10:00 pm on night 2.

Day 3 begins with a flag raising and breakfast at 7:25 am and continues through the closing campfire at 8:00 pm. The final day of camp is visitor's day and families can plan to arrive for dinner at 5:00 pm to eat with their Scouts at the campsite. Pack 220 holds a potluck dinner with each family bringing a dish to share and their own drinks, plates, and utensils. Families are encouraged to stay through the closing campfire and can depart with their campers around 8:30 pm on Day 3.

The camping program includes fun activities such as:

• Swimming in the pool (usually twice per day)
• A dessert contest on Day 2
• Scouts will perform campsite cooking to fulfill their cooking requirement which consists of foil packets. Food is supplied by the Pack this night.
• Tie-Dying of shirts on Day 2 - bring a plain white T-shirt
• Visits to the nature lodge
• A shooting range where Scouts will shoot BB Guns
• Archery range where Scouts will learn to shoot with a bow and arrow
• Handicraft lodge where Scouts will build a special project
• Night hike (first-year program)
• Game Design
• Climbing/Cope Tower (second-year program)
• First-aid training
• Safe swimming training (first-year program)
• And much more

BSA Swim Test

All Scouts will take the BSA swim test upon arrival at camp. As a Pack we schedule swim nights during the year in order to practice for the swim test. Adults that wish to use the deeper areas of the pool will also need to pass the BSA Swim test.

In order to pass the blue BSA swim test,  you must swim jump feet first into water over your head in depth, level off, and swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes:

• Sidestroke
• Breaststroke
• Trudgen
• Crawl

Swimmers must then swim 25 yards using an easy resting backstroke (soldier, chicken, airplane - not an arm-over-arm backstroke). The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without stops and must include at least one sharp turn (you will swim around the T-shaped pool). After completing the swim, you must demonstrate that you can float. Swim goggles are highly recommended, however, you are not required to swim with your face in the water.
