Child Island/Webelos - 2004

This year, our annual Webelos event was held December 5, at Child Island in Medfield.  This excellent location gave us the opportunity to really demonstrate Scouting skills to the Webelo scouts from Packs 113 and 200.

The Senior Patrol set up a campsite Friday night and slept over.  The other patrols cooked the meals on Saturday, using three different techniques; Dutch oven, tin foil and shish-ka-babs.  After lunch, many of the Webelos (and some parents) were shuttled over to Devil's Foot Island, for a look at where we camp in the spring.
