A Can’t Miss Camp Experience
A 4-day/3-night resident camp for Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts
Each summer, Bears who’ve just entered Webelos and Scouts moved up into Arrow of Light are invited to a camp designed especially for them at Bear Creek Scout Camp.
The schedule and structure of this program is vastly different from what Scouts experience during Cub Scout Day Camp. Akela Adventure Camp mimics the schedule and teaching of the Scouts BSA Camp. Instead of going home every afternoon, Webelos and AOL Scouts spend the night in preset tents and have meals prepared three times a day at the dining hall. During the day, Scouts follow a schedule appropriate for their rank and work to complete six different rank advancements. During free time, Scouts can fish, go climbing, brand camp items at the forge, play games, basketball or gaga ball, swim at the pool, or go to the river to enjoy open water sports like swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, or the three-story water slide. The staff, program classes, food, and tents are all provided by the camp, making great memories for youth & unit leaders alike.
All registrations are set up to be done by the Unit so that the Unit is able to track and provide the required 2 deep leadership. Parents are welcome to attend with their Webelos but must have current Youth Protection Training and a Health Form and follow all Policies and Guidelines.
