Introduction

Webelos Camporall is an event intended to introduce Webelos Scouts and their parents to some of the exciting adventures of Boy Scouting. The weekend will be filled with fun activities: Saturday morning competitive events, then plenty of outdoor excitement in the afternoon, including games, sports, shooting ranges, push carts, camp cooking, and an interactive evening campfire.

Webelos Scouts and their parents are invited to participate as individuals or with their Dens. All Scouts will be organized into Survival Teams for the competitive events and may or may not be participating with members from their "natural" Dens. Sorry, siblings are not invited to this event.

An Introduction to Webelos Outdoor Leader Skills (IWOLS) trained adultsare not required for this event. Members of the Modoc Chapter of the Order of the Arrow (BSA's National Honor Society) will be hosting the weekend and running the events.

(need link or form) In addition, all youth members who intend to use the shooting ranges must complete, and have in possession, an Oso Lake Activity Release form signed by a parent or guardian, even if that parent or guardian is in camp. (need link or form)

Arrival and Set-Up

Campsites will be assigned based on the number of people who register. Campsites hold up to 50 people so you will be sharing a site; please respect other campers' space.

Each unit should send one adult to check in after they move their vehicle. Go to the program headquarters and provide a complete roster of all youth and adults that are attending. A packet will be provided for each registered Unit or individual, which includes: event wristbands, camp map, daily schedule, and other information. Please help us by doing this as soon as possible.

Adults should accompany their Scouts to the morning competitive events, but may not, in any way, coach or assist the Scouts during the competition. Any interference or intervention by an adult will result in that Survival losing points for that event.

Optional Event - Golden Spoon Competition(? - Still under consideration)

Teams or individuals may compete in a Golden Spoon competition for the best Dutch oven dessert prepared Saturday night.

Participants should supply their own ingredients to prepare their entry. Webelos will be on their honor to prepare their dessert on their own, and then take a sample to the judges at the headquarters area.

There are a limited number of Dutch ovens available for this event. Participants should plan to use their own Dutch oven if possible.
