Webelos Winter Cabin Camping  (Jan 23~25, 2009) 

The Boy Scouts of Troop 868 always invite all the Webelos to go winter cabin camping with the Troop during the month of January.  This is a Troop outing versus a Pack outing, so the whole program is planned and run by the Boy Scouts; but caters very specifically to the Webelos' interests and advancement needs.  The outing gives the Webelos a chance to experience camping "Boy Scout style" and those who participated all had a GREAT time!  This year's event was held at the Rotary Scout Reservation near Glasgow, KY.  More photos from this event may be found on Troop 868's web site, at www.bsatroop868.com/RSR2009.htm.

 
Pack 868 Webelos Chris and Austin watch closely as Troop 868 Scoutmaster Bob Meek explains how to make a proper fire lay in two shepherd stoves.  

The Boy Scouts stood back and let the Webelos be first in line a Saturday morning breakfast that consisted of sausage and pancakes.

 
All the Webelos gathered around a table in the cabin to get ready for some First Aid instruction.   Pack 868 Webelos Scott and Chris stood with Pack 848 Webelos Conor and Chase and with Pack 305 Webelos Spencer on top of a large rock.

 
On Saturday afternoon, the Webelos got some instruction on how to use a compass from Scoutmaster Meek.   Scott fixed a cup of hot cocoa as Austin played cards during an afternoon break.

 
The Webelos received instruction in basic outdoor skills from the Boy Scouts throughout the weekend.   Pack 868 Webelos Chris and Pack 848 Webelos Chase teamed up to perform color guard duty during one of several flag ceremonies during the weekend.
