3 October 27-28, 2011 Camp Sequassen New Hartford, CT Purpose and Program Details What is a Webelos Outdoor Woods or WOW? A WOW is a district outdoor program activity designed to aid in a Webelos Den earning some of the outdoor activity badges. Activity badges offered are Outdoorsman, Readyman, Geologist and Forester. Whittlin Chip is also offered. The purpose of this outdoor experience is to create in all Webelos Scouts a genuine desire to know more about Boy Scouting, and through a funfilled series of events, to give them a preview of the thrills of Scout skills and camping. An important goal of the WOW is to assist in the Webelos to Scout Transition. Webelos Scouting and the activities of the Webelos den form a natural stepping-stone for the Webelos Scout and his parents to move into Boy Scouting. Webelos Overnight Woods is an event conducted by the Cub Scout Activity Committee and Boy Scouts Troops in the district for those boys who are on the threshold of entering the Troop program. The interaction of the Webelos with Boy Scout Troops shows the fun and skills of Boy Scouting. It offers an opportunity for parents to gain perspective on Troop programming and the opportunity to "graduate" along with their son(s). While at this event, parents should seek information about camping plans, meeting times, advancement plans, etc. Program Details All Webelos will be camping in North Sequassen and parking in the main lot and carrying all gear into the campsite.
