WEBELOS RESIDENT CAMP (July 14~17, 2011)

Webelos Resident Camp is a 4-day, 3-night adventure conducted at Camp Tunnel Mill near Charlestown, Indiana.  It's for both first and second-year Webelos (which are the boys who were Bears or first-year Webelos until the May Pack Meeting).  Most of our second-year Webelos had crossed over into Troop 868 and went to Boy Scout summer camp in Tennessee in June.

WRC is fun, fun, fun at a pace that never stops!  It is non-stop activity for the campers.  They get to work on a variety of Webelos Activity Pins such as Aquanaut (Camp Tunnel Mill has a swimming pool), Outdoorsman, and Sportsman.  They eat most of their meals in the camp's dining hall, have two campfire programs, hike around the camp, and generally get to have a great time.

Our boys even got to sleep in Boy Scout canvas wall tents borrowed from Troop 868.  They traveled to and from camp aboard one of the troop buses --- the same way the Boy Scouts go to camp.  It was a great experience for all the Webelos who participated.  Unfortunately for us, the leaders were so busy having fun, they didn't take many pictures.

 
As part of the check-in process, everyone takes a swim test. Scouts walked back to their campsite with Webelos Leader Will Rich after their swim test.
Shooting BB guns is always popular with the boys, and they had several opportunities to shoot at Webelos Resident Camp.
An range officer kept a watchful eye to make sure all the guns stayed pointed downrange.  Safety first!   Scouts stand in formation for a flag ceremony before mealtime.  A couple of our guys were part of the color guard for this particular ceremony.
