Webelos Weekend

EVENT FLYER

Webelos Weekend is one of our most important recruiting events of the year and we need strong attendance and participation to show our guests why everyone says that Troop 97 is the best Troop in the area!!!

This event is a weekend event, where we will be hosting WEBELOS and non-scout guests, interested in scouting to enjoy a camping trip in the life of Troop 97 as they consider what Troop they want to cross over to.

Scouts should be dropped off at the Paul Bunyan Parking at 6:30pm Friday night.  Friday night the   scouts have a choice of sleeping in tents or in Paden Cabin.  Saturday night will be all tent camping as the cabin will be used by the Webelos Scouts and guests.  Tents provided by the troop.  Pick up will be Sunday at 9:00 AM sharp at the Paul Bunyan Parking lot.
