November 12-14, Webelos Invitational Campout 2021




Troop 2000 will host their Webelos Invitational Campout 2021 for local Arrow of Light dens to experience a fun-filled camping experience. All Webelos II (or any boy in 5th grade) and parent(s) are welcome to see what Troop 2000 is all about and experience the patrol method in action. Scouts and webelos will work through a series of skills stations, participate in a group service project, and learn more about Scouts BSA Patrols and Troops.
