Packs register their Webelos to attend Webelos Resident Camp as units. They may be combined with boys from other units once at camp. The boys stay in camp the entire time during their session. Meals are taken in the Akela Shelter, and are provided by the kitchen facility at Camp Algonkin. Activities start at 7:00 a.m. sharp daily, and continue until taps at 10:00 p.m. The staff remains in residence during the sessions. Activities in the past have included swimming, BB guns, archery, leatherwork, nature, cooking, hiking, Scoutcraft skills, Good Turn projects, flag raising, and retreat ceremonies, campfires and ceremonies. As required for Day Camp, the Resident Camp and staff are inspected and maintain National Standards. The Camp Director and Program Director are nationally accredited at the National Camp School. While minor first aid may be administered at Camp Akela, Webelos Resident Camp utilizes the first aid facility located at the Deaver Administration Building. It is highly encouraged that an adult accompany each Webelos in camp. This is to share the outdoor experience as well as to offer help when needed. The boys need to bring only clothes for the four days, sleeping needs (sleeping bag and pad), and toiletries. They are expected to be in uniform for the evening retreat ceremony and evening meal. There is no need for any backpacking gear or any special outdoor gear except a poncho. A list of the needed camp items is included in the Webelos Resident Camp leaders Guide for the unit leaders. There is a Camp Honors Program, known as the HAWK (Honor Akela With Knowledge). This is a unique program whereby the resident camper earns his HAWK award during his stay in camp by participating in the scheduled program, taking part in a service project, remembering his Cub Scout Promise, and being a part of the campfire program. It is the intent of the Webelos Resident Camp Program to show the boys the operation of the Boy Scout Camp adjacent to Camp Akela, and to have the boys experience some of the activities and fun that they will be involved in when they return as Boy Scouts. Webelos Resident Camp is open only to boys who are Webelos Cub Scouts, and their adult partner. (Cub Scouts who have completed the Bear rank are considered 1st year Webelos.) |
